My name is Rebecca Carnes and I have been a teacher at Smithville High School since the year 2000. I have been married since 1999 and have one daughter at the high school. I enjoy attending sporting events of all kinds. I cheer for the MIZZOU Tigers, KC Chiefs, and the KC Royals. I also enjoy traveling, reading and spending time with family and friends. I am interested in all things related to Earth Science and continue to study how the planet is constantly evolving. I enjoy working with my students in researching current events, conducting lab experiments, and dissections. I am currently teaching Biology, Earth Science, Oceanography, Forensics, Zoology, and College Physical Geography. I'm looking forward to a great year!
