TEACHER SPOTLIGHT

Meet Ms. Julie Lockhart! Ms. Lockhart teaches Integrated Chemistry and Physics and Chemistry this year at the Energy Institute. Ms. Lockhart is from Longview, Texas and attended Texas A&M. She is a proud AGGIE! Ms. Lockhart came to the Energy School because it was an opportunity to work with students who are passionate about science. And for those students who haven't yet discovered a passion for science, she hopes to unlock their hidden talents through investigative science inquiry labs. She was drawn to the mission of Energy and specifically the focus on technology. Ms. Lockhart is an outdoor enthusiast who loves spending time outside with her dog Jessie, urban hammocking, and trying not to die in CROSSFIT! We are thrilled to have Julie's energy and enthusiasm on our campus this year!
