My name is Mrs. Barnes. This is my third year teaching 7th grade life science, and I LOVE it! I actually grew up right here in Commerce, and I attended EJMS as a student about 13 years ago. I graduated from Piedmont College with a degree in Middle Grades Education, specializing in math and science. In my last semester at Piedmont College I met a fantastic person by the name of Michael Barnes. We got married in April, and we now have a fur baby (yes, he is still a puppy), and his name is Jace!
