My name is Rebecca Metcalf and this is my 15th year teaching ELA at the high school level. I have taught ELA I On-level/Pre-AP/AAC, ELA II On-level/Pre-AP/AAC, ELA III On-level/AP, ELA IV On-level/AP - but this year I am teaching only ELA I AAC (which is super exciting for so many reasons!). 

I was born at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, so there is a special place in my heart and life for the outdoors. I love camping, exploring, traveling, fishing, and sleeping in a hammock under the stars.

Authors whose work I really enjoy are Neal Shusterman, Stephen King, and Jeffrey Deaver. 

I attended 5 different colleges/universities to earn all my degrees, and I can honestly say that I am done earning more. Now, I try to focus on real-world learning experiences rather than those based in a classroom. 

I married my soulmate in March 2021. Together, we have a blended family of six. Two of my children are 7th graders at Bowie Middle School and the other two are sophomores at Travis, so I am sure I will actually live at school this year.

At home, I get to cuddle 2 Great Danes and 1 energetic Whippet/Dane mix. 

My favorite quote embodies the zen quality of life I try to live by - "If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." - Mark Twain
