My name is Addie Smith and I have been teaching chemistry and physical science in Everett Public Schools since 2000. As a chemistry teacher, my goal is to help all students learn, succeed, and be college and career ready through science (and have fun along the way, too!). To achieve this, students in my classroom will be engaged in exciting learning experiences and ongoing assessments that promote higher-level thinking, collaboration, communication, independence, the development of laboratory and analytical skills, and a deepening knowledge and appreciation for our chemical universe. 

     I have 20+ years of experience teaching General Chemistry, College in the High School Chemistry, and AP Chemistry. I earned my Bachelor's of Science from Washington State University in 1998 and my Masters' degree in Science Education from Western Washington University in 2006. In 2014, I was certified as a National Board Teacher and re-certified in 2023. I have a strong commitment to continually improving my practice through ongoing professional learning. 

Did you know?...
In 2018, 2022, and 2024 I traveled to Iceland with students from Everett and Jackson High Schools! The trips were out-of-this-world and I can't wait to do it again in 2026! If you're interested in visiting this amazing place, contact me today or listen for announcements on meetings and planning times!
