7th Grade Math

About the Teachers

Gregory Marx

Hello. I am Mr. Marx and I am happy to be "home" as a 7th and 8th grade Math teacher at Lorena Middle School. I am a proud new member of the Leopard Community and have come to Lorena for my 25th year of teaching. I have taught in Belton, Temple, and Moody and have been educating our youth in History, Math, Science, Golf, and Robotics in 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 8th grades. My wife Laura and I reside in Hewitt and we treasure our family of five grown children and their spouses as well as our 6 grandchildren. It is my pleasure and it is an honor to be allowed to help educate members of the Lorena Community. I am proud to call myself a Lorena Leopard.
