Structure Teachers

Sarah McWilliams

Hi! I am so excited to be teaching in the Structure Classroom this year. This is my 15th year of teaching and my 13th year at Armstrong. I was an Instructional Assistant in my first year in the Resource and Fundamentals classrooms. I then taught First Grade for six years and Kindergarten for two years. This is my sixth year as the Structure Teacher at Armstrong, and I am grateful to teach alongside three amazing teachers, Trenia Jefferson, Amber Sotelo and Kari Jones. I am passionate about inclusion and my role here at Armstrong.

I went to Baylor University where I majored in Elementary Education, and I have my Master's Degree in Special Education with a focus on Autism through the University of Missouri.

I have two children who both attend Armstrong. My son, Ace is in 4th Grade, and my daughter, Penny is in 2nd Grade. I was born and raised in Highland Park and went to Bradfield Elementary. I love the community of Highland Park and I feel so blessed to teach in a district that taught me so much.
