SirmansMs. Sirmans is a 5th grade science teacher. She loves teaching. She has taught at Madge Griffin Elementary and in Angleton as well as CIS. She graduated from the University of Houston Clear Lake with a degree in Literature. Even though her degree is in reading, her favorite subject to teach is science. For fun, Ms. Sirmans enjoys traveling, snow skiing, reading and spending time with her family. Her favorite part about Clute Intermediate is that she gets to see all of the 6th-8th grade students that she previously taught. It's amazing how much some of them change from 5th to 8th grade.
