Science Teacher - William Brandt

I am a 1969 graduate of La Feria High School.  I attended Pan American University in Edinburg, Texas and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, Physical Education, and Health.  My first teaching position was 7th and 8th grade science at Mercedes Junior High in 1974-75.  I moved to Coakley Junior High in Harlingen where I began my coaching/teaching career in 1975. I taught physical science, Health, and Physical Education.  I married my high school sweetheart in June of 1975.  I moved to Raymondville High School in 1980 and stayed two years.  My first daughter was born in June of 1980 and my second daughter was born in April of 1982.  I moved to Sharyland ISD in 1982 and spent one year coaching football and basketball and teaching science.  I moved to San Benito High School in 1983 and spent 4 years teaching biology and IPC and coaching football, track and basketball.  I left San Benito in 1987 and moved to Hidalgo High School.  My youngest daughter was born in March of 1990. At Hidalgo I taught biology, IPC, chemistry, physical education and coached football, girls basketball, boys and girls track, boys and girls cross country.  I retired from Hidalgo in 2003.  In 2004 I returned to teaching science at OSM charter school in Weslaco, Texas.  I spent 5 years at OSM and I left at the end of the 2009 school year.  I returned to La Feria at the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year and I am teaching science at the La Feria Academy.
