Crystal Carmichael, 4th Grade Homeroom, 4-8th Science and PE

Hello! My name is Crystal Carmichael and I am the 4th grade homeroom and 4th-8th grade science and physical education teacher. I earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education and K-12 Physical Education with a coaching minor from Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN. Throughout my years of teaching, I have experienced teaching in every grade level from kindergarten through 12th grade. Before coming to Good Shepherd Academy (GSA), I was a dorm supervisor and instructor at St. Croix Lutheran Academy in West St. Paul, MN for 2.5 years. At St. Croix, I taught middle school math and physical education and was a dorm supervisor that lived in the dorms with 150 students, taking them to doctor appointments, helping them with homework, guiding them with the gospel, and attending to their daily needs. 

In July 2021, I made the move from Minnesota to Florida to teach at GSA. Currently, I am the 4th grade homeroom teacher and 4th-8th grade science and physical education teacher. I strive to find hands-on activities for the students to take ownership in their learning and make life applications through experiences and discussions. I look forward to helping out with more activities while I am here at GSA! When I am not at school, I enjoy going to the beach, kayaking, trying out new coffee shops, traveling to visit family and friends, and being active through events and sports. The best part of my job is that I get to tell students about the one true God who loves them and sent his son to die for all people so that the whole world can believe in God and enjoy the paradise of heaven one day.
