Coach Karen Evans
I have been with Thompson since 2006. I am currently at THS teaching archery, adaptive PE, and sponsoring Project Outreach. I will also be working with special education students in all ACS schools for adaptive PE. I spent 16 years at TMS teaching PE, 3 years teaching Outdoor Pursuits, and formerly coached volleyball, softball, and basketball. I spent one year at Eastwood Middle in Cottondale, AL, and 3 years at Johnakin Middle School in Marion, SC, prior to coming to Alabaster City Schools.
I am a native of South Carolina, where I lived from 1978-2005. I moved to Birmingham in 2005 to be with my husband, Chris. We have 2 beautiful daughters, Nina and Grace. We enjoy nature and being outdoors, so we hike and kayak a lot. We take annual trips to Hunting Island State Park in SC and the Smoky Mountains National Park in TN. I have taken several really cool trips, including the Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountains, Hershey, the Outer Banks, Washington, D.C., and Hawaii.
I am a Carolina Gamecock fan and Alabama Crimson Tide fan. I also enjoy following the TN Lady Vols Basketball. I enjoy many sports, but softball and basketball are my favorite. Both of my daughters are involved in extracurricular activities and sports, so we spend a lot of time around taekwondo, cross country, majorettes, piano, and track.
