Hi everyone,

My name is Clark Barrow and I am a mathematics teacher at Davidson Middle School in Crestview, Florida. I really enjoy middle school students and I am enjoying my job. The first 20 years of my working career were as a Building Contractor. After about 20 years, I decided to go back to college, earn a degree, and obtain a professional position so I could spend more time with my family; I have not regretted my decision.

I spent my Christmas break with my family. I also worked painting the inside of my house so it looks clean and fresh. I find the two-week winter break an excellent time to complete small jobs around the house and accomplish small, personal goals.

I look forward to working with all of you in this class,

Clark E. Barrow
