Amy Booth
I am excited to be the science teacher for the Panda Team at Mesa Middle School. I attended Southern Utah University where I graduated in chemistry and math. While in college, I was the teaching assistant for organic chemistry, and I tutored pre-med students for the MCAT. After deciding not to attend medical school, I went back to college to study education. After completing my teaching endorsement, I taught middle school for five years in Utah and Connecticut. I then stayed home for the next 20 years to raise my children: Broderick married in May and is attending CU Boulder studying economics. Wyatt graduated from Douglas County High School in 2021 and moved to Medellin, Colombia in July to serve a 2-year mission, and Brooklyn is a junior at Douglas County High School and is on the varsity tennis team. All three are former Mesa Bears! I have been married for 28 years to my fifth-grade boyfriend, Derek. I have a lop-eared bunny, Papi, that thinks he is a dog; he sits by the sliding door when he wants to go outside. We also welcomed a yorkipoo to our family in January named Teddy. I love to play the piano, read, solve trigonometry problems for fun and play laser tag. This is my second year at Mesa, and I am ecstatic to be back in the classroom!
