Welcome to Mr. Gast's

Introduction
 
Hello.  I am excited as we start the 2023-24 school year here at Bartlett High School.  If you have me on your schedule you must be enrolled in one of the following classes: Pre Mechatronics, STEM I, or STEM II.  While this is my seventh year teaching at Bartlett, I have been in public education for the past ten years.  Prior to teaching public school, I taught Air Force ROTC at the University of Memphis for three years as an Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies.  Teaching potential future officers in the military was my final active duty assignment that concluded my 24-year military career.  It is also the experience that brought me back to my desire to work in civilian education.
 
 
Course Content
 
Bartlett is using the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS).  All courses have their own access via student's Single Log-in through Clever.
 
Each course has a class section by content and period.  All students must check-in daily to see assignments and course updates.
 
Courses are broken down by module and each course starts with a BHS Weekly Agenda.  This page is a living document that will track our progress toward completing each of the modules for each quarter (9-weeks).
 
Course Syllabus - handed out first week of class hard copy.  Digital available via Canvas in your course module.
 
Important Technology Information/ Link
 
Below are two great links.  First, Clever single log in for access to Canvas and other useful education based applications.  Second, is the Bartlett High School Technology Page.  There, you will find more links and valuable training videos that will answer many of your questions on how to work the technology to your learning advantage.

My passion is you.  Making a difference in your life for the positive and giving you skills and knowledge to help you not only survive but succeed in life is the goal.
