My name is Phillip Buchanan, and I am on my 8th year of teaching, 4th year at Travis High School. I graduated from Lamar University with my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in May 2014. After that, I went to work in the oil and gas industry but found that I missed the mathematics. While in college, I student taught classes like College Algebra and Ordinary Differential Equations, as well as tutored for the school, and had a fantastic time, so after leaving industry I decided to pursue education as my career. I've loved my time so far here in education and can't wait to see how the following year will unfold!
