Ford, Peter
Meet Mr. Ford 8th Grade- Math- Dignitary Den E-Mail - [email protected] Webpage - n3csford.weebly.com Born the day after the first human flew in space. My parents integrated our street, when my birth certificate still said “Negro.” Mom yanked us from our integrated school and dumped us into a segregated one; the teachers expected excellence and our learning blossomed.

Served our country helping to build rocket motors and jet engines; became a father, started teaching shortly after, and still having fun doing it! 13-14 year olds are tougher than rocket nozzles and turbine blades! |
