My name is Curt Hale. I'm a college graduate from East Texas State University- Commerce where I studied Health science, secondary education, Earth Science subjects such as chemistry, physics, geology, hydrology, biology, mineralogy, crystalogy, and anatomy to the fullest.
I not only love science because of the fascinating experiences your student will discover this year, but also because of the learning process which takes place.
