My name is Amanda Ketchum. My amazing husband's name is Dillon and we have a kiddo named Koen, he is our entire world. We love living out in the country in Haywood. As a family, we love to go ride side-by-sides, be outdoors, go camping, take fun road trips, work at our body shop/small business, and spend time at home RELAXING with family & friends.
I graduated magna cum laude with my Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education in 2011 from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. I started teaching in 2012 at Parker Intermediate Center. I was at Parker for seven years teaching Mathematics & one year teaching STEAM. I transferred to Puterbaugh Middle School in 2020. We moved to the brand new Randy Hughes Middle School building in 2023 and I absolutely LOVE it, it's my dream job come true. I have such a passion for STEM and love doing what I do each day. I love to see students having fun while learning, exploring, and problem-solving in the SMARTLab at RHMS. I take great pleasure in facilitating the exciting and inspiring work completed by my students each day. Have a BUFFALO day!
