I’m ready! Are you?
We have some EXCITING new additions to our Warrior Family: 🙂
Mrs. Belinda Nisbett (7th grade Math)
Belinda was born and raised in a little town in Texas called Lake Jackson. It is about an hour from Houston, and 15 miles from the “beautiful” Gulf Coast. She graduated from Abilene Christian University in May of 2010 with a degree in 4-8 grade mathematics. She originally was an elementary school major but switched when she decided that she wanted a bit of a challenge. This age level is so wonderful because they are still so “moldable” and she hope’s that she can help her students see the beauty in mathematics that she does. Belinda was recently married on June 19th 2010 to Matt Nisbett, so she is officially a Nisbett now. They have a one year old miniature dachshund, Bella, who is their only child at the moment. Her hobbies are singing and dancing; she was on the drill team and in varsity choir all through high school. Belinda is super excited to start her first job and put all of the tools to work that she has been learning about for the past four years. She cannot wait to meet the rest of the Warriors and begin her teaching career.

Mr. Tim Parnell (7th grade Math)
Tim graduated Midland Senior High School in May of 2000. There he played soccer as a goal keeper and enjoyed singing in choir. He earned his Bachelors of Arts in Communications at Austin College in Sherman, Texas in 2004. He proclaims that the greatest thing to come out of his education at Austin College is his wife Alison. Before becoming a teacher, Tim has embarked on an adventurous life of learning and business development. He holds a certificate as a Harley-Davidson Technician from Motorcycle Mechanics Institute with which he developed a business transporting luxury motorcycles. He also holds a certificate of completion from Collin County Community College Fire Academy and EMT school. Lastly after successful completion of a real estate investor’s academy he and his wife enjoy ethical real estate prospecting. He is now attending ECAP and is teaching on a Standard Generalist (grades 4-8) certificate.
Tim’s favorite past times are cooking and boating, both of which are made sweeter by doing it for and with people he loves. He believes the best meals are cooked with love and the best boating is… well… because you’re boating. One of Tim’s life long searches has been to fulfill his need and desire to mentor and develop individuals. He is grateful for the opportunity to learn from and teach with the family of Watauga Middle School. Tim’s strengths include Empathy, WOO, Maximizer, Communication and Ideation.
