Welcome Students!

Hi, I’m Ms. Mayes and I’m thrilled to be joining MaST II this year as your Earth and Space Science and Biology teacher. I’ll be working with 9th graders to explore our planet’s systems -- its land, water, atmosphere, and beyond, and with 10th graders to dive into the world of biology, exploring living organisms, how they function, interact, grow, and adapt, and the connections that make life possible.

I have a background in Microbiology & Immunology and I’m passionate about making science engaging, hands-on, and connected to real-world questions. My goal is to help students think critically, ask great questions, and see how science is both a tool for understanding the world and a way of solving problems.

I’m excited to get to know each of you and to start this year of learning, experimenting, and exploring together!
