Marcia Moss

Seventh Grade Life Science, Upper School Psychology

A USJ teacher for 18 years, Marcia Moss teaches seventh grade life science (biology) and Upper School psychology. In her 21 years as a teacher, she has taught several subjects (anatomy and physiology, keyboarding, biology, physical science, general science, health, math and English) across grades seventh through 12th. 

She has a bachelor of science in biology and general science from Lambuth University, plus 30 hours post-graduate in biology, math, and education. She is a member of the National Science Teachers Association. 

Her hope for her students is that “not only will they learn the science in the textbook, but they will be more aware of the diversity of life around them – and they will leave a better student than when they arrived in seventh grade science.” 

"My classroom," she says, "is quiet, orderly, and students are required to use good manners. Questions, comments, and suggestions from students are encouraged. Students are held to high, but fair, standards."

Her favorite interests outside of the classroom include spending time with her children and grandchildren, music, reading, fishing, and sewing. All four of her children – Billy, Meredith, Kate, and Murray – are USJ graduates. 

She likes teaching at USJ because it is “quiet and safe” and “stresses academic achievement.”
