My name is Gretchen Pearce. This is my 7th year of teaching, but my 15th 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. This year, I look forward to the new challenge of leading our UIL debate students.

I share my home with my 2 children ages 16 and 24 as well as multiple critters that include 3 cats, 1 dog, an iguana, a gecko, and a handful of fish. In my free time I enjoy cooking, crafting, and playing board games.
