I am excited to be a Bulldog!! I will be teaching Algebra 1 and 6th and 7th grade math. I have a Bachelor Degree from Tarleton State University in Stephenville, as well as a Master's Degree from Sul Ross State University in Alpine. I have been married to my wife, Valerie, for 45 years. She spent more than 25 years as an elementary, English, and PE teacher before retiring. We have a daughter, Lisa. She has a Master's in accounting, is a trained Korean linguist, and is an Air Force veteran. Her husband is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force. My granddaughter just graduated from High School and is attending Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. My wife and I enjoy reading, movies, and travel. I am looking forward to a great year in Bartlett. My email is gbirdwell@bartlett.txed.net and my phone extension is 316.
