About Me:
My name is Cory Standridge. I'm in my 14th year teaching high school English, and my 4th at Irmo High School. I'm the father to four amazing kids, the boyfriend to a great person, and between them and working towards obtaining my doctorate, my time is stretched pretty thin.
When I do have any free time I love reading YA novels, participating in nerd and pop culture, and writing for fun!
