Welcome to 5th grade STEM American History. My name is Alex Tews and I am in my sixth year of teaching here at Barber. I taught 6th Grade World Cultures for 3 years and am excited to be a part of the 5th Grade STEM team for the third year.
Prior to teaching, I served four years active duty in the Marine Corps, spending most of my time stationed in Okinawa, Japan. While stationed in Okinawa, I met my wife Katie (also a Marine). At the conclusion of my 4-year enlistment, I used my GI Bill to earn my degree in education from University of Houston-Clear Lake.
I'm a "girl Dad" with 3 daughters, 2 dogs, 5 chickens, and 2 ducks (Mr. Duck is my only male counterpart!).
