Amanda Carmona, Coach
Coach Amanda Carmona graduated from Texas Tech University with her bachelor’s degree and later returned to get her teaching certificate and a master's degree in education. She has taught thirty two years for the Lubbock Independent School District. She moved from elementary school to Hutchinson Middle School fourteen years ago and never looked back. She currently teaches eighth grade advanced science and eighth grade accelerated science at Hutchinson Middle School. She serves as the school's Texas Math and Science Coaches Association science coach and is the sponsor for MATHCOUNTS. Coach Carmona has engaged former students who now compete on the Lubbock High Science Bowl team to volunteer weekly to coach the Hutchinson teams. The love of learning, passion for science, and giving back to the community that these students exhibit is what Coach Carmona hopes to instill in all her students. For Coach Carmona, working with dedicated students who invest so much of themselves and ask for nothing in return is a humbling experience!
