My full name is Rebecca Ann Koch Stoddard, however I have always gone by Becki .
I have been teaching in some capacity for 36 years. I have taught several different subjects, such as physical education, science, social studies and most often math, which is my joy, and am highly qualified in all these areas.
I love teaching at Huron Middle School. We have a great team of teachers, and they help me learn something new each week.
My future plan is to continue to teach for at least a few more years. I have always had a passion for learning and sharing that passion with my students, and peers is awesome.
