I'm Mrs. Scherer, and I'm super excited to be your Computer Science teacher this year here in Palmyra! Before I started teaching five years ago, I spent a big part of my career—like, 15 years—in the corporate world. I was all about Data Warehousing, which meant creating databases and writing code to make reports for clients like Entenmanns, Bed Bath & Beyond, and even the FDA. I can't wait to meet each of you and have an awesome school year together!
