Math, Science & Computer Science

Hello! My name is Roxana, and I am delighted to join the École McTavish High School team as a Mathematics and Science teacher. Originally from Iran, I moved to Canada in 1996 and have been proud to call Fort McMurray home since 2006.

I hold a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in Secondary Education (Major: Mathematics, Minor: Physics) from the University of Alberta and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (Hardware) from the University of Shiraz/ Iran. With a strong background in mathematics, physics, and computer science, I strive to create lessons that are engaging, meaningful, and connected to the real world.

I am passionate about fostering a positive and inclusive classroom where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed. One of my favourite moments in teaching is when a student says, “Now that you explained the math problem, I finally believe I am smart!” Those moments remind me why I love teaching—helping students see their potential."

 

Division Notice

ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th

As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.

As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
