Hello, I am Ms. Renee Beard. I will be your child's Social Studies and Science teacher for the 2025/2026 school year at Freedom Park School.  This is my ninth year at Freedom Park.  I love this school!

I look forward to teaching your child more about our government, Native American Indians, explorers, and much more.  Students will also learn about recycling, regions of Georgia, and fossils.  

About me.......... I am from Rome, Georgia. It is a small town in Northwest Georgia.  I moved to Augusta ten years ago to start a new chapter of my life. I have one son, Markevus Beard. He still lives in Rome, Ga.  I graduated from Shorter University in 2014 with a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education.  I received my Master's degree in 2024 from Berry College. I am also certified to teach Special Education. I have loved every minute of teaching our children.  I am starting my eighteenth year in the Georgia school system. I worked for six years in Rome with Special Education before moving to Augusta. I also worked for two years at GSIC after moving to Augusta, Ga.  

I look forward to a great year. I believe in the lyrics of Whitney Houston's song "Greatest Love of All:" I believe children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier." 

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.  You can always email me at beardme@boe.richmond. k12.ga.us or classdojo.  If you need a face-to-face conference, I will be more than happy to schedule a meeting after school.
