Teacher BIO:

Mrs Amanda Lee

(Use the contact button -under Science- if you need to contact me via email) 

I have been at OBHS for 18 years! I even grew up in OB and attended OB schools myself.

In the past I taught Biomedical Research, Physical Science, Intro to Biology, Biology, Zoology, Marine Biology, Environmental Science, Earth & Space, ACT Science Prep, and Botany. I love science especially biology.

I attended NWCC and University of Mississippi where I earned a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences. After I married and started a family I wanted to be home with my kids so I took needed classes and obtained my teaching license. I have most recently obtained a masters degree from Clemson University in Biological Sciences.. 

I have been married for 22 years. I have 2 teens: Gracie & Colton and they attend OBHS
