About the Teacher

Hey there! 

Whether you are a parent, student, colleague, or simply stopping by, thank you for visiting my site. I’m so glad you’re here!

My name is Brian Garner. I am married to my wonderful wife, Rachel, and together we are raising our two amazing children, Lincoln and Claire. Outside the classroom, I love singing everything from show tunes to breathy acoustic indie-folk songs, cooking food that is extremely healthy for the soul (though perhaps not always for the waistline) and using far more energy than I actually have while playing with my kids.

Although I am new to teaching, I care deeply about the students entrusted to me. I think about and pray for them often, hoping they will come to see themselves as inspired, courageous, and capable.

I believe we are all more than our difficult days, and that our good days are gifts worth cherishing. In my classroom, my goal is not simply to teach academic content, but to help students build the confidence, independence, and practical skills they need for life beyond school.

Every student deserves the opportunity to discover what they are capable of. Every student deserves to have their strengths noticed, encouraged, and celebrated. 

Above all, I want my classroom to be a place where students feel safe, valued, supported, and able to grow into the fullest version of themselves.

We are in this together! Here's to a great year.

Brian Garner
