Who's Mr. Richards?
My name is Leonard Richards Jr. I am a native of Culpeper, Virginia, but reside in the City of Harrisonburg, Virginia with my wife and daughter.
I am an alumni of James Madison University. While at JMU, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in History with minors in Africana Studies, Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, and Secondary Education, as well as my Master of Arts in Teaching where I completed my Teacher Work Sample entitled: Motivating for Mastery.
I'm entering into my seventh year of teaching and I am very excited to work with the students, families, and staff at Waynesboro High School once again!
All of the courses that I teach lend themselves to opportunities for exciting and vibrant classroom discussions. In our classroom, we will create an environment in which we all feel comfortable sharing our opinions and ideas and work together to foster open-mindedness towards all of the topics and issues we visit.
