Texas Social Studies
Howdy everyone! My name is Brock Riedt and I currently teach 7th grade Texas History at Burkburnett Middle School. I was raised here in Wichita County, graduating from WFHS. I then attended Texas Tech University (Wreck 'Em), graduating with a degree in History and Minor in English Composition. This will be my second year at BMS and I am beyond excited for another year of history. Beyond being a history buff, I love reading, music, and all things National Parks. I like to spend my free time traveling and exploring new places with my partner, Chelsea, and my family.
