I grew up in Plano and still live here! I began school in Plano as part of the preschool program at Plano Senior High School. I went on to attend Saigling Elementary, Haggard Middle School, Shepton High School, and then graduated from Plano Senior High School. I received my teaching degree at the University of Texas at Austin.  Go Longhorns!  In December, 2001, I received my Masters in Education degree from the University of North Texas. I did my student teaching in Austin, Texas at Eanes Elementary in Eanes ISD.

I have been teaching since 1996 and absolutely love teaching third grade at Beverly Elementary.  I was lucky enough to help open Beverly and can’t think of a better place to teach.  When I am not planning, teaching, or grading, I enjoy reading, cooking, and playing amateur photographer. I am a little over attached to my computer and there are days I feel I may need a “Google” intervention!  I am looking forward to a fabulous 3rd grade year!

I grew up in Russellville, Arkansas. I received my degree from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. This is where I met my wonderful husband Scott. We were married in 1990. We have two beautiful daughters, Katelyn and Morgan. Katelyn is a 9th grader at Clark and Morgan is a 6th grader at Hendrick. I began my teaching career in the fall of 2005. Before coming to Beverly, I taught pre-k in a private preschool for 8 years. I then spent 3 years as a substitute teacher at Beverly. I am so excited to be teaching 3rd grade! This truly is the best school in Plano. I would not be teaching anywhere else. Outside of school my daughters take up most of my time. They are both in competitive dance so I spend a lot of time at the dance studio. I also enjoy reading, watching sports (New York Yankees, Arkansas Razorbacks, Dallas Cowboys, and the Stars), spending time with friends, and traveling with my family.

I have lived in Plano since I was three years old. Upon graduating from Plano Senior High School, I received my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Texas A&M Commerce. While attending A&M Commerce, I was named to the President’s Scholars List for obtaining a 4.0 GPA. I completed my student teaching in Kindergarten and First grade here at Beverly Elementary and immediately knew this is where I wanted to be because of the wonderful teachers and students.

I am beginning my third year of teaching at Beverly Elementary and during my first year of teaching, I was named Beginning Teacher of the Year. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, and I look forward to sharing that passion with each of your precious children.

When I am away from the classroom, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, learning new and interesting facts on a variety of subjects, exercising, watching and attending sporting events, and shopping.

I want to start off by expressing how excited I am to be back at Beverly for a second year in third grade. I grew up in Richardson, Texas and received my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Texas A&M Commerce. My teaching experience includes teaching kindergarten in McKinney ISD and Second grade in Greenville ISD.
I have been married for twenty-one years to my husband, Wade, and we have two beautiful children.  My daughter, Jordan, will be starting at Collin County Community College in the fall and my son, Zachary, is going to be in the eighth grade. In my spare time I enjoy watching reality TV, reading, shopping, and spending time with family and friends.   I am looking forward to being part of your child’s educational journey this year, and I know we are going to have a great year. 3rd grade ROCKS!!! Go Bobcats!

Hi everyone!!!  My name is Tracy Beauchamp and I am so excited for my second year at Beverly Elementary.  I graduated in 1995 from the University of North Texas with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Child Development.  Although I began working towards a degree in education I soon changed my direction to psychology because I was interested in working with troubled youth.  I worked for the Texas Youth Commission helping troubled teens for a little over a year, and though it was a challenging job, I enjoyed the work.  I was then offered a position with Dallas County Adult Probation and worked for them 11 ½ years.  I helped young adults and adults earn their GED, I taught health classes as well as a program called “Thinking for a Change” (an intrinsic behavior modification program). Being a probation officer gave me invaluable experience with a very diverse group of people and allowed me to empower many, many people over the years.  One of the best aspects of being a probation officer was the flexible scheduled that allowed me to stay home with my girls most of the week. Although I loved being a probation officer I have always know in my heart that I should be an elementary school teacher!
