My name is Jalisa Washington and I am an 8th grade science teacher at Williams Middle School. I graduated from Marion High School and furthered my education at the ILLIUSTRIOUS Claflin University, where I recieved a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry. While teaching was NOT my original plan, since I have joined the profession, it has become my PASSION! I look forward to an amazing year of learning and exploring a number of different sciences with my newest class of 8th grade SCIENTISTS!
