About Mr. Strader
About Mr. Strader
My name is Bill Strader and I'm delighted to be part of the Martin Magnet Middle school family.
I grew up on the St. Lawrence river in a small town in Upstate, NY. (Fun fact: From my Dad's back yard, I can look across the river and, literally, see Canada.)
I earned my B.A in Psychology and Communications at SUNY Potsdam, also in Upstate, NY.
Since earning my Master's degree in Counselor Education from NC State University in 2007, I've worked with WCPSS as a Middle School Counselor. I enjoy helping students navigate middle school and prepare for high school.
Three things I'm passionate about:
I have two small dogs, Mackenzie and Charles Barque Leigh (The Round Mound of White Hound), who share the same two parents.
I'm a huge fan of my three favorite professional teams, the New York Yankees, Philadelphia 76er's, and Tennessee Titans.
I love all types of music, but am especially fond of comedy, parody, and Broadway style music. (Fun Fact: I've seen Weird Al Yankovic in concert multiple times.)
