How long have you been teaching in AHS?

This is my first year teaching at Annandale High School. 

Why did you decide to start teaching? 

Coming from a family where they had struggled a lot. My father was a refugee when he was a teenager, my mom was poor and lost her father when she was four years old. My parents have done so much for me that life most of the time has been easy, however my parents have always reminded me to appreciate things that they did not have when they were children. Understanding this, I wanted to share my own parent’s passion on understanding life and how to enjoy it by learning so much from it. 

This AHS staff member is Mr. Loutsios!
