Mrs. Carla Cothern

My name is Carla Chrestman Cothern, and I am originally from Pontotoc, Mississippi.  My husband (Josh), son (Jackson), dog (Daisy) and I moved from Wichita, Kansas to Camden in May of 2017.   I love cooking, swimming, decorating, watching TV shows and movies, listening to all types of music, games, reading, and hanging out with my family.  I have been teaching science in either high schools or middle schools since the fall of 1997.  I am thrilled to be a Bulldog!
