Hello! My name is Brian Gardner and I started teaching at Harding High School in 2020. Previously I was a Social Studies and ESL teacher at Wellstone International High School in Minneapolis.  I am very excited to be working at Harding this year because I live very close to the school and feel it is part of my community.

I am licensed in both ESL and Social Studies, though this year I am going to be working primarily as an ESL teacher. I am so happy to be teaching language this year to students who know many different languages and cultures. 

When I am not in school, there are many things I enjoy doing.  For example, I love hiking and fishing, and in the winter there is nothing better than making a loaf of bread to keep my house warm.
