Faculty Profile


Name: Matthew Lawrence (Mr. Lawrence)
 
 
Department: Social Studies
 
Biography:

Hello! My name is Mr. Lawrence. I was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and I grew up in Dunedin, Florida. I attended the University of Florida and graduated with a B.A. in History; I have also earned a Master’s Degree in Education from Georgia Southern University, and an Ed.D from the University of West Georgia. 

My first teaching experience was teaching ESOL in Prague, Czech Republic. Upon returning to the US, I took a position teaching Special Education at West Port Middle School in Ocala, Florida. Missing seasons and colder weather, my wife and I moved to Marietta in 2005. I taught here at McEachern for two years (Special Education and Social Studies) and then at Oakwood High School for three years (US History and Economics). In 2010, I received the news that I was being transferred back to McEachern High School, back to where my Georgian teaching career began.

I like banana bread and Thai food; I admire Calvin Coolidge; I enjoy reading, afternoon naps, traveling and football (not necessarily in that order). I’ve got a beautiful wife (Milota), a daughter (Emma), and a son (Sam)…and I’m happy to be at McEachern High School.
