Hannibal Middle School

Rayme Bergman: Science

 

Lisa Johnston: Science

I celebrate my 11th year as an HMS 7th grade science teacher this year. I hold degrees in Journalism from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and in Education from Hannibal LaGrange University where I received my endorsement in Middle School Science also. I began earning my master's degree in the Fall of 2016. Born in Illinois, I grew up in Pennsylvania and have been in Missouri since 1995. In addition to being curious about almost anything and loving to spread that excitement to students of any age, I have a passion for writing and for my family which include my three sons and a variety of other animals. I also enjoy metal detecting, history, gardening, the ocean, and Big Band and a wide range of other music.

Debbie Williams: Social Studies

My love of learning and desire to encourage young people led me to my current position at Hannibal Middle School. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communications from NMSU (Truman State) and a Masters of Education Degree from Quincy University. This is my 19th year with the District and my 15th year at HMS. I have taught both English and Social Studies. My oldest son Christian lives in Hannibal while my youngest son Parker lives in Colorado Springs.  My husband Todd works remotely in the insurance industry and we like to travel, play at our family farm, take nature walks, and play pickleball.  In my spare time I love to read, cook, decorate, exercise, volunteer, bike, walk, and spend quality time with my dearest friends and extended family.

Lance Harvey: Social Studies

I began teaching at HMS in 2017, after spending 10 years teaching  7th grade social studies in Chillicothe, Mo. I am also the 7th grade football head coach and assistant girls soccer coach for HHS. In my off time I enjoy spending time with my wife, Steffi, and two daughters, Gray and Piper. My favorite activities include reading, cooking, kayaking and playing any sport that has a ball (except golf, golf is terrible.) My future plans include a 2040 presidential run and to learn Sanskrit.
