"We are not the makers of history. We are made by history." -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
My name is Brian Parker, and I want to welcome you to my site. I am beginning my 25th year teaching in Cannon County. I began my teaching career in Resource at Short Mountain in 2001. In 2002, I transferred to Woodland and taught in the Resource room. I have been teaching 7th and 8th Grade Social Studies for 4 years. I will be teaching 8th Grade Social Studies, which covers the time period from colonization to the end of Reconstruction, at Cannon County Middle School.
I attended elementary school at Woodbury Grammar and graduated from Cannon County High School in 1994. I attended Middle Tennessee State University, where I earned a degree in History, Grades 7-12, and Spanish. In 2004, I received an add-on endorsement to teach Resource in grades Pre-K through 12. In May of 2012, I graduated with a Master's Degree in Pre-K-4 Resource from Arkansas State University.
I am married and have a daughter.
History has always been a subject I have enjoyed. I look forward to sharing that love of history with the 8th grade students this year.
