Hello! My name is Debra Cartagena and I teach 7th grade science.  This will be my second year in the science classroom. I was a Waynesville graduate in 2003.  I earned my B.A. in biological sciences from MS&T, and my M.S. in Environmental Management from Webster University.  In 2014 I became an adjunct instructor at Ozark Technical Community College and realized my passion for teaching. I decided I wanted to teach a younger audience as well.  I look forward to having your child in 7th grade science this year!
