Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your hobbies, your passions.
My name is Amie Ware. I graduated from Moore High School-once a Lion, Always a Lion. I have been married for 21 years and have five kids ranging from 9 years to 18 years. My kids are in Moore Public Schools and will eventually get to spend four years with me at MHS. I enjoy running, swimming, reading, playing games, doing puzzles when I can and most importantly spending time with my kids and making memories. I am their biggest cheerleader!
What classes do you teach?
I teach Desktop Publishing and Graphic Design. I have been teaching for 19.5 years.
Where did you go to college and what led you into teaching?
I started off college at Oklahoma City Community College where I got my Associates degree and transferred to University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond where I majored in Business Education.
Who mentored you into the educator you are today?
There are too many to list that have mentored me or influenced me to be a teacher. Some of these people were teachers I had in junior high and high school and others are those that I have had the privilege of working with over the years.
What do you love about teaching?
I love watching the students grow. I love it when something clicks for them and they understand it and have a genuine interest and desire to do better than before. I love getting to know the students at MHS.
What is great about your current school?
From the teachers I work with to the administration here at Moore High School and at Moore Public Schools, the support, desire and passion that is at this school and school district is phenomenal. We all want the same for these students–to succeed and for them to be a leader.
Why is teaching Science and Math so important?
Teaching science and math is so important because it is a part of our everyday lives and having a solid understanding of how things work together or add up is huge.
