Mr. Hartle

I graduated from Texas State University in May of 2016 with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, emphasis on 4-8 grade Science Education. This is my tenth year in the classroom and my fourth year at Walsh Middle School. 

I have been married for 20 years and have two daughters, ages 18 and 16. My wife has been an educator in RRISD for 22 years, and my daughters have attended RRISD schools since kindergarten. We have been a part of Round Rock ISD family for a long time!

I have always been a true lover of science. I started reading science fiction books as a young child, and these days I love reading books and articles about new scientific discoveries. We are living in a truly remarkable era of discovery and innovation. My hope is to inspire young people to get excited about science, and possibly pursue careers in scientific fields. After all, our children are the future! 

When I'm not at school I enjoy going on fossil/mineral hunts with my daughters, reading, playing music, working on watches, working on cars, and spending time with my family.
