Malea Mullins

Upper School Science

Malea Mullins has been at USJ for 10 years teaching Chemistry I, Honors Chemistry, and AP Chemistry. She has been an AP Chemistry reader since 2003.

Mrs. Mullins has a bachelor of science in chemistry from Lambuth University and a masters in education in curriculum and instruction from Texas Tech University. She has several professional associations, including NSTA, NCTM, CEAI, and ACS.

In her classroom, Mrs. Mullins has high expectations for her students and works hard with them to help them learn. She says, “Most of my students probably won’t go into a science-related field, but all of my students will leave me with the ability to apply scientific methods of investigation, analyze data, and employ their reasoning to new situations.” 

She tries to incorporate technology into her lesson plan as much as possible. "I am very passionate about technology in the classroom. I want every student to be proficient in using technology so that they won't get to college and be unschooled in this area." 

Outside of class, Mrs. Mullins enjoys reading, sewing, and watching UT Football. She also plays the flute in her church’s orchestra and she teaches Sunday School and leads an adult Bible Study. Her daughter, a 2007 USJ graduate, is a freshman in college and her son is a senior at USJ.
