Garrard County High School would like to officially welcome Mrs. Jennifer Duncan to the GCHS Math team!👏 Mrs. Jennifer Duncan says, "I am looking forward to teaching math at GCHS next fall! I do not remember a time where I did not want to be a teacher; I fell in love with math during my senior year of high school while serving as a peer tutor to freshman Algebra 1 students. I started living my dream in 2007 as a middle school math teacher in Decatur, Alabama. After sixteen great years of teaching middle and high school students in a climate not conducive to building a snowman, I moved to Richmond with my husband, teenage son, and our five guinea pigs. When I am not sharing my love of mathematics with my students, I can be found spending time with my family, with my nose in a book, or working on a knitting project."
