Welcome to South High!
I'm Ms. Hoyt and for the 2020-21 school year I am teaching Honors Chemistry and Chemistry.
It's been my pleasure to teach at South High, where our student body is remarkable in its diversity and talents, and I am dedicated to seeing all reach their fullest potential. In previous years, I have taught Chemistry, AP Chemistry, Physics, and Physical Science. I also served as the Secondary Science Content Specialist for Minneapolis Public Schools working with middle and high school science teachers and programs across the district.
One of my life's greatest rewards is meeting up with former students, catching up on their lives, and hearing them reflect on their high school experience. I use that feedback to improve the experiences of my current students. On a personal note, I too am on a parenting journey, as mother to two MPS high schoolers. This gives me a perspective, which I hope makes me a better teacher.
Please contact me for help with assignments, questions about pursuing a science-focused track or science resources!
