My name is Rene Evans, and I have been teaching high school English at Kootenai for 29 wonderful years now. This year I will be teaching all of the high school English classes, and Speech. I will also once again be teaching Project Based Communication, which is a class where students explore a number of life skills, like cooking, cleaning, seasonal crafting, and my personal favorite, the 3R's of furniture: Refinish, Refurbish, Repurpose. I have also added a new class this year: History Through Literature. This class will explore historical eras and events through the literature that describes them.
In addition to teaching, I am the Senior Class Advisor. I have been advising this group since they were freshmen, and I look forward to working with them in their final year at Kootenai. I am sure that they will make it memorable!
