About Me & Contact Info

Hello League Academy students and parents! I'm very excited to be starting my 6th year at League Academy, and to be teaching 8th Grade Social Studies! I was previously at Pendleton High School, where I taught Geography and Modern World History. I graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Secondary Education and in History (Go Tigers!). I coach football and baseball at Wade Hampton High School. 

On a personal note, I'm originally from Sarasota, FL, and I married my high school sweetheart, Amber, four years ago. In my free time, I spend time with her, as well as watch any and all sports, particularly football, baseball, hockey, and soccer. 

I look forward to getting to know and working with everyone! Social Studies is a fascinating subject, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. Please feel free to reach out to me by email at mburtless@greenville.k12.sc.us. I'm looking forward to a great year!
