On the Home page, you'll find general information about me and my courses, schedule, and any announcements that need to go to all students and/or parents.
Each of my courses has its own page - at the top of this page, you can navigate to the course you're taking to find information specific to that course, such as the syllabus, weekly lesson plans, and class calendar. There are buttons on each page that will take you to the syllabus and all lesson plans through the current week.

Hi! I'm so excited to be your teacher this year, and I look forward to all we are going to learn from each other.
I grew up in the U.K. and moved to Texas after high school, where I attended the University of Texas at Arlington, earning a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies in 2001 and an MA in Linguistics in 2005. I taught at PHS from 2010 until 2018 before spending two years as an Instructional Coach, first at McLean MS and McLean 6th, then at Benbrook Middle-High School. I'm thrilled to be returning to Paschal to start my 11th year with the district, teaching German, Linguistics, and AP Seminar.
I live in Fairmount with my wife, Tammy, twin second graders, Max and Vivian, and our cat, Sunshine Bob. In my free time, I run trail ultra-marathons and am the Cubmaster for Cub Scout Pack 9.
My contact information is under my photo. To contact me, email is best. I will reply during the school week within 24 hours. If the matter is urgent or is best handled with a conversation, use my Google Voice phone number to text or call. I have office hours for students who want academic help (or who just want to see a friendly face) from 2:00pm to 3:00pm daily. Log into Google Meet and use the nickname "clubconnally".
Note that office hours are for students only. Parents/guardians who wish to speak with me should email me for an appointment.
