Biography

My Name Is Kendra Holcomb and This Is My 17th Year Teaching. I  have two daughters, Samantha who is 15 and a 9th grader and Alexandra who is 13 and a 7th grader. We have many pets, currently, 1 dog, 2 turtles, 2 cats, 30 chickens and roosters, 1 gecko, 1 bearded dragon and 1 blue eyed snake. I like to read, watch crime shows and the Walking Dead, play with our animals and spend lots of time with my family.

It is my job not only to educate my students but to make sure they know someone loves them and to help them be productive members of society. 

As their Science teacher I help them to understand it is ok to question the why, but more importantly it is ok to fail while trying to figure out the how. We are all Scientists and Engineers, we do not quit, we keep trying until we find a way.
