Hi! My name is Rebecca Brown (although some of you know me as Mrs. White) and I am excited to be at Wellman-Union. I am starting my 24thyear of teaching, with most of those years in the secondary classroom teaching Spanish. I have taught a variety of other things on the secondary level but can now add that I have successfully taught at the 4th and 5th grade level as well.
I truly love learning about other languages and cultures and hope to share some of that passion with my students. I have traveled to a few other countries, so just to experience those cultures firsthand is a pretty amazing experience.
I attended a small school much like Wellman-Union growing up and small schools are where my heart truly is. There isn’t anything better.
After graduating high school, I attended McMurry University in Abilene, Texas and received my bachelor’s degree. Upon graduation, I began my teaching career in the Dallas area and taught at 2 very large schools. I took a break for a few years beginning in 2000 and lived in Germany on and off for about 3 years. Once I returned to the states, I got back into teaching and began a 4 year stint at Brownfield teaching Spanish. Once my daughter turned school age, she and I made the transition to Wellman. We spent the next 13 years here and she graduated in 2021. Madison is now pursuing her Master's degree at Texas Tech. Her plans are to pursue a career as a couples, marriage, and family therapist.
I am truly looking forward to this year and seeing what we can accomplish all together.
