My name is Straun Alexander I am from Charlotte, and attended Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools throughout my childhood. I served five years in the United States Navy. While in the military I served on the USS South Carolina and the USS Saipan. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2013, where I majored in Middle Grades Education with a concentration in language arts and social studies. While attending UNC Charlotte I worked as a substitute teacher in many of the urban schools within the Charlotte Mecklenburg School system. I am excited to fulfill my dreams of being an educator at Francis Bradley Middle, and look forward to building relationships with you all!
