My name is Brian Watkins and I am a lifelong resident of Dade County. This is my 28th year in Dade County Schools. I am currently the Alternative School Coordinator and I enjoy working with students who sometimes struggle to perform in the regular classroom. I received my undergraduate degree and Masters degree from the University of Tennessee Chattanooga and my Doctorate from the University of Tennessee. It is a rewarding experience to see those students be able to transition back to the regular classroom and become successful.
