Hello.

Im Glenn Jones and I will be teaching your AP

Physics course this year. Physics is pure pleasure for
me, so I am delighted to be teaching this course. This
begins my twentieth year as a teacher at Providence
High School, and I feel very fortunate to be working at
such a fine school. My background is as follows. I am
originally from Great Falls, SC -- about fifty miles south
of Charlotte on I-77. I have degrees in physics from the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville (M.S., 95) and from
Clemson University (B.S., 91). My wife, Alicia, and I
have been married for twenty years, and we have two
sons, Clark (15-yr. old) and Luke (13-yr. old). I enjoy
sports, the outdoors, reading, and live music.
I have several goals as a teacher. I plan not only to
prepare the student thoroughly for the AP Physics exam
in May 2016, but also for related studies in science and
math beyond high school. At the same time I hope to
make this course interesting, fun, and relevant to life.
Finally and most importantly, I intend to raise students
confidence in, and appreciation for, learning.
Please visit this website often for details on the
structure and content of the course. If you have any
questions, or if you would like to arrange a conference
with me at any time, please email me to ensure the
quickest response. My planning period is the 4 th block of
each day (which runs from 12:45 to 2:15), so expect to
hear back from me during that interval.
I look forward to a rewarding year for all -students, parents, and teachers. If there is anything I
can do to improve your experience, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Glenn Jones
