Bachelor's degree in Education from Alvernia College

I was a New Teacher of the Year nominee in 2010 and a Teacher of the Year nominee in 2015-2016 and 2019-2020. I host the Geography Bee and am a member of the SIT Team.
I was born in Mertztown, PA and now live in Cape St. Claire. My favorite movies include A River Runs Through It, O Brother Where Art Thou, and Legends of the Fall. My favorite books are A Walk In The Woods, The Day the Earth Caved In, The Time of Our Lives, and 50 Years a Trapper and Treasure Hunter. My favorite musical artists are Old Crow Medicine Show, Trampled By Turtles, Grateful Dead, and Tyler Childers. In my free time, I enjoy hunting and fishing, kayaking, and watching college sports.

This is my 13th year teaching middle school science and my first year at Centreville Middle School.  Through my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to teach physical, life, and earth/space science at various points, and have a love for all science.  For the last five years, I have had the opportunity to teach 8th-grade science in Caroline County, however, I began my teaching career in Queen Anne’s County at Stevensville Middle School.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters.  Often our summers are spent camping.  When at home I enjoy crafting.  My current fixation is crocheting and I often bring the stuffed animals into my classroom to give away.

Master's Degree in STEM education

I am thrilled to join CMS and teach in my own community! I have been teaching science for the past 7 years at Kent County Middle School, where I was selected to be the Kent County Public School Teacher of the Year for 2022-2023. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Salisbury University and am currently finishing my master’s degree in STEM education with the University of Maryland Baltimore County. I live in Centreville with my two sons, who attend the schools here in town. When I am not busy teaching, I love to run in local races, like the Tuckahoe 25k and the Bay Bridge 10k, or go kayaking down in St. Michaels, where I grew up. I can also be found on the sidelines of the sports fields cheering on my sons while they play every sport imaginable! 

My name is Sarah Parker, and I am thrilled to be teaching 6th-grade math this year! This is my 16th year with Queen Anne’s County Public Schools. After graduating from Washington College, I taught first and fourth grades for eight years at Sudlersville Elementary School, spent five years at Sudlersville Middle School as an eighth grade ELA teacher and Reading Specialist, and then two years at Church Hill Elementary School as the Teacher Specialist before finally landing at CMS! Along the way, I also earned my Master’s Degree from UMBC in STEM Education and my Administrator I Certification from Trinity Washington University. 

In my spare time, I teach two curriculum and instruction courses at Washington College to preservice teachers, read plenty of books, and spend time with my two sons and future husband either on sports fields or in our home in Centreville. I look forward to a wonderful year with you all at CMS!

Bachelors of Arts in Early Childhood Education from Stevenson University; Master's Degree in Instructional Technology from the University of Maryland Global Campus

In 2012, I began working for a small private school in Anne Arundel County. I began my career as a co-teacher for Pre-Kindergarten. I then advanced and was the Community Based lead Pre-Kindergarten teacher for six years. I taught up to thirty-four students in a classroom at one time. I also managed five assistant teachers who served under me. I wore many hats at the small independent school where I worked. When the director was out for the day, I would step in as director for the day and assist teachers, students, and parents with any issues that arose.
This past summer I worked at Horizons of Queen Anne’s and Kent County. I was the teacher for Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and First grade. At first I was hesitant about teaching all three grade levels but in order to meet each child's individual needs, I persevered. I was so happy that I was able to teach these students over the summer and learn a lot from them. Even with all of the restrictions, it was my favorite summer by far teaching students.
I am thrilled to serve our students and provide them with a plethora of information that will be helpful in order for students to be successful in the real world. I look forward to building relationships with the students and the staff at CMS. I understand that it takes hard work and determination in order to be a successful student and educator.
On a personal note, I’m a proud, loving mother to my daughter Avery. Avery is 18 months old and has so much energy. I look forward to a wonderful year as the new Gateway to Technology teacher.

My favorite book is New York by Edward Rutherford and my favorite movie is The Help. My hobbies include biking, kayaking, reading, and tennis. My best advice is “make progress not excuses” and “it should be quality that counts more than quantity.”
