Hello, I am Toya Rice. I am originally from the Madison County area where I attended Sparkman High School. I graduated from Alabama A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Food Science & Chemistry and a Master's degree in Chemistry Education. I recently obtained a certification in Instructional Leadership from Samford University in June 2020. I started my teaching career in 2004 at Westminster Christian Academy, where I taught Chemistry & Physical Science. I have a passion for Science and for sharing my knowledge and love of science with others. Florence Middle School has been a great place to work; it is home away from home! I look forward to working with all of my amazing colleagues as I become acclimated to the Florence/Muscle Shoals area.
