Ms. Rhonda Johnson, CCR Teacher

Greetings! This is my 1st year at Green but my 17th year teaching with 25+ years in the field of Education. I enjoy working with students and helping them navigate through their academic journey. I have taught at the Elementary, Middle, and Collegiate level. It is my belief that education opens the door to success, and you can also have fun while learning! I am looking forward to a successful, fun, and rewarding year. 

I enjoy writing plays, poetry, and skits. I also enjoy crafting, traveling, going to plays & shows, shopping, watching movies, and most of all, spending time with family and friends. My daughters (age 20-Junior in her college Honor’s program and age 13-8th grade...AWESOME!) are my rays of Sunshine and bring true joy to my heart!
