Hello, my name is Mr. Avant, and I will be your Social Studies teacher this year. I have a bachelor's degree in history and a master's degree in secondary education from the University of South Carolina. Go Gamecocks!!! I am entering my 10th year teaching and I coach the offensive line for the football team. My family and I just moved to the upstate from Columbia.  I’ve been married to my wife, for 11 years, and we have a daughter, who is 9.  I’m very excited to be your teacher and join the Mann family! Go Patriots!!!
