We Learn :: New Subjects

I've taught the same five classes for ten years. This year I've become an "architecture" teacher on top of my existing "art" teacher assignment. This is going to be a fun year. So far so good. Needless to say, I'm doing a lot of practicing on my own time.

This band. Is Awesome. They are made up of my former CHS students. They were great kids then and are great kids now. I'm so proud of them.
