My name is Gretchen Pearce. This is my 8th year of teaching, but my 16th year in education. I have a Bachelor's of Arts in history from Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, NH and a Master of Science in Teaching from The College of Saint Scholastica in Duluth, MN. I am licensed to teach all areas of social studies, but Geography is my favorite. I love sharing our big beautiful world with my students. 

I share my home with my significant other and youngest child (age 17) along with 3 cats (Ozzie, Johnny, and Jack) and our dog Zero.  In my free time I enjoy cooking, crafting, and playing board games.
