She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Howard Payne University in 1997 and is a certified teacher. Ms. Evans has been at Brownwood Middle School since 1997.
Amber Evans is a rock solid teacher who has that “it” factor. She is able to reach and grow students on all learning levels. Her students are eager to participate and feel safe asking questions or offering input in discussions. She manages to show each and every one of them attention and encouragement every day, which is no small feat considering she has well over 100 of them in her 7th grade Math and Pre-AP Math classes.
