Welcome! I am so happy you are here. My name is Mrs. Garner and I will either be your AICE European History or Honors World History teacher this year. I graduated from Charlotte High School and immediately went to Florida State University to major in Social Science Education. This is my fifth year teaching at Charlotte High School and I absolutely love it! 

  • My time in Tallahassee shaped me into the educator I am today. I held an internship at the Florida House of Representatives for two Legislative Sessions with a local representative. I witnessed how the State of Florida operates and got involved behind the scenes. I also worked with adults with disabilities, helping them transition out of high school, where my passion for teaching grew.

    I stayed in Tallahassee for my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. My research in graduate school was on integrating literacy into social studies and how social studies can foster literacy skills. From there, I taught AICE American History in Tampa before moving home to Punta Gorda with my husband, dog, and cat. 

    My goal as your teacher is to make this class as memorable and meaningful as possible to you. This year you will learn skills here that are relevant outside our classroom, as well as academic skills that will be transferred to other content areas. 

    Let's make this year great!
