About me:  My name is Tanya Maxwell.  I have been married to Andy Maxwell for 33 years.  We have 4 wonderful children, a great son-in-law, beautiful daughter-in-law, and the six of the most perfect grandchildren.  When I'm not teaching school, you can bet I'm spending time with them.

I am a Louisiana Tech graduate and have been teaching at Weston High School for the past eighteen years.  What I like most about teaching is the feeling I get when I see a student's "light bulb" go off.  That's such a rewarding experience. There are two sayings that I tell my students often throughout the year.  1.  Mistakes are ok because Mistakes Allow Thinking to Happen, and we learn from our mistakes.  2.The other is from a book that I always used to read aloud to my fourth grade classes. It was the teacher's motto in the book. "Try hard. Then try harder!"
