Mr. Robert McMaken
I love the process of learning, teaching, and discovery. Since high school (a long, long time ago) I’ve been a tutor or teacher (as well as a student of something) for nearly every year of my life. After I got my undergraduate degree in English from Loyola University in New Orleans, I got my first public school teaching job in Nara, Japan. I became fascinated with teaching, culture, and history there. After coming back home, I studied history and got a Masters Degree at UGA in order to start teaching it. Since then I’ve been pursuing my dual passions of teaching and playing music. I mostly teach AP Human Geography, AP Art History, and occasionally US History in Film. I am proud to live in Athens and to work at this great school that is full of vibrant and passionate educators and students!
