Welcome!  I'm so glad you're a part of the Law program here at CHS (or that you're checking us out!).  I am in my tenth year at CHS.  I taught TV Production for nine years, and now I am making the change to teach the Law classes.  Prior to working at CHS I spent five years at Punta Gorda Middle teaching English, Yearbook, Speech and Debate, and Creative Writing.  I also spent a year at Lemon Bay teaching English.  Before that I was in full time ministry, serving as the Director of Student Ministries, Worship Leader, and Media Specialist for a large church.

I attended Law School at Stetson University College of Law when I worked at Punta Gorda Middle School (I was a part time student, commuting from Punta Gorda to St. Pete three nights a week).  After graduating, I accepted the job at CHS days before I took the bar exam.  About a month into my first year at CHS I found out that I passed the bar.  I was sworn in as an attorney in the state of Florida, but I'm still here teaching because I love it.  I do keep my law license active, but I do not currently practice.

I love this job and this school and feel fortunate to choose to come and work with these students every single day!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have.  Email is best--I try to respond as quickly as possible.  amanda.armenio@yourcharlotteschools.net 

Have a great day!
