Staff Highlight: Mr. Grow

What do you like best about teaching at Burrell High School?

Everyone has been nothing but kind to me thus far during my time at Burrell High School. During the 20-21 school year, I was here at BHS to student teach with Mr. Facemyre. Since my return from the MS last year, everyone has welcomed me back with open arms.

What is your favorite class?

My favorite class thus far has been American Cultures 9, as the curriculum picks up where I left off last year during American History 8. Out of all the history in the world, American history is my favorite to learn about. 

What is your favorite holiday?

My favorite holiday is Christmas without a doubt! During that holiday season, my family from across the country comes together to celebrate - it is the only time I see everyone each year!

What do you like about Burrell?

Everyone is very friendly, and it is a good community.

What is your favorite song?

I don’t necessarily have a favorite song per se; I am the type of person to listen to whatever is playing on the radio! However, I do enjoy the pop genre the most. My favorite pop concert I have ever been to was the Jonas Brothers. 

What is your favorite movie?

My favorite movie to watch is titled Rat Race. In the film, random acts bring together a group of strangers, and they are tasked with beating each other in a race to a bank deposit box. Whoever gets to the bank first will win the large sum of money that is locked away there!

Do you have any pets?

I have three cats. They are named Creme Brulee (tabby), Pepper (mix of brown and tan), and Boots (gray with white paws). 

What is your favorite restaurant?

My favorite restaurant is Red Robin. My go-to meal at the restaurant consists of a bacon cheeseburger with the bottomless steak fries and a freckled lemonade. 

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

If given the opportunity to travel anywhere in the world, I would be sure to visit Paris, France. 

Why would you go there?

I would like to visit Paris, France to experience the culture and try the food that is native to the area. I would also like to visit some famous landmarks that reside in the city, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.
