🌟Oark Hornet Staff Spotlight 🌟
Mr. Poor was born in Arkansas but grew up in Wharton, TX. He graduated from the University of Texas with a bachelor’s in English. He then moved back to Booneville, Arkansas where his family is originally from. He tried a few different career paths, including earning an MBA from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, but nothing really fit. During those years, he started substitute teaching and decided that being a teacher was what he wanted to do. He started teaching at a juvenile treatment center, then went to Lighthouse Charter School in Jacksonville teaching upper-level math, then to Horizons Day Treatment in North Little Rock teaching science and history. Now he’s at Oark and very excited to start teaching 7-12 math and science classes. 😀🐝
Some of Mr. Poor’s hobbies include hiking when it’s COLD outside, avoiding the heat at all costs, reading nonfiction war novels, taking road trips, and going to renaissance festivals. He also enjoys crushing his wife at board games, but refuses to challenge her to Mario Kart 64 again. 😂
Mr. Poor and his wife have been married for 20 years, have eight large dogs, and have four cats.
Help us welcome Mr. Poor to our Oark Hornet Family!!! 💜💛
