My name is Vera Seilhan. I have been teaching 38 years. The last 32 years have been in 6th grade science here at White Oak Middle School. My teaching experience also includes West Rusk CISD, Ganado ISD, and Hallsville ISD.
I was born on the Navy base at Corpus Christi, Texas, but I grew up and graduated from high school in Center, Texas. So you see, I went from being a Center Roughrider to a White Oak Roughneck. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University. I have one daughter and two sons. All my children are grown up and living in Houston and Louisiana. I have 2 granddaughters in college at the University of Arkansas and 1 granddaughter in high school in Louisiana. My baby grandson also lives in Louisiana. They are the delights of my heart.
My interests include gardening, birdwatching, fishing, reading, Bible scripture study. My big love is science especially biology and space science. I enjoy developing activities for the science curriculum.
