accomplishments of Kimberly Brann, Barnes Middle School Teacher of the 
Year.

receiving her Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and 
Finance.
  She has ten years of experience working in the business world. Ms.

banking in New York before becoming a teacher. Her unique and practical 
perspective helps to prepare our students for acquiring the skills they 
need for success.
  Kimberly Brann has spent the last eight years teaching. She currently 
works at Seguin Independent School District, teaching math at Barnes 
Middle School. Having formerly taught fourth grade in the same

Her passion for education helps to insure that our students receive 
excellent and practical training that will help them succeed in the 
future.
