Welcome Mr. Richardson

In 2019, Mr. Richardson graduated from the University of Virginia with a BA in history. Immediately after college, Mr. Richardson taught third grade and fifth grade at a charter school in San Antonio, Texas, Mr. Richardson went to the University of Alabama to pursue a Master's Degree. Initially, he thought that he wanted to pursue a career in higher education, however, after participating in academia for two years, Mr. Richardson became convinced that his calling was to teach children in middle and high school. While at Alabama, Mr. Richardson's research focused on German Military History during the Thirty Years' War, a field that he still deeply enjoys. Mr. Richardson loves reading, learning languages, jogging, and working on cars. 

I teach primarily because I adore watching students fall in love with what is being taught. I firmly believe that in order to teach something, you must first lead students to love that subject, and few things bring me more joy than watching children fall in love with history, writing, and literature.

"They say our suffering are our misfortunes. But if you were to ask me if I would rather be the man that I once was, or go through captivity and eating horseflesh again, then I would say 'My God, give me the horseflesh.' We think that when our lives are knocked off course that everything is lost, but instead, that is often when something new and beautiful begins. Where there is life, there is happiness. There is much, much more before us."

 -Pierre Bezukhov in War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
