About me
Hello! My name is Kirk Windrow, and I am the Chemistry teacher here at Gordonsville High School. I grew up in Baxter and graduated from Upperman High School before earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife and Fisheries from Tennessee Technological University.
After college, I spent two years working as a Park Ranger in Virginia. I then returned to Tennessee to become a science teacher. This is my third year in the classroom, and I am excited to continue helping students explore the world of chemistry. I look forward to another great year at GHS.
