About Mrs. Hamrick:

Ms. Hamrick attended St. Edward's University in Austin where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in English Writing and Rhetoric. She has been teaching for five years and is currently teaching English I and English II/Speech.

She is happily married to Mr. Hamrick, Crosstimbers Academy history and technology teacher. Based on her car and most of her accessories, it is easy to infer that Ms. Hamrick's favorite color is red. She loves to read, write, and ride horses; she often competes on the weekends and comes back to school Monday sunburned and bruised. Also, in her spare time she sews, paints, and enjoys graphic and web design.
