Class Information
Welcome to 6th Grade
Hello! My name is Mr. Brooks, and I am excited to begin my second year of teaching at St. Christopher.
I graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Mathematics, and I will be serving as the sixth grade teacher as well as teaching seventh and eighth grade math. Outside the classroom, I enjoy playing soccer, tennis, golf, chess, and the violin. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with my students and helping them grow both academically and personally this year.
