Meet Richard Collins, Veteran 6th Grade Teacher at Topsail Middle! 📚✨
With an impressive 40.5 years of teaching experience, Mr. Collins brings wisdom and dedication to his 6th-grade classroom at Topsail Middle. His inspiration? A teacher and mentor who set him on the path to education. Throughout his career, he’s found a passion for teaching computer science, a subject he loves sharing with young minds. 💻🌟
One of his proudest accomplishments? Seeing two of his former students return to the same school as teachers—a true testament to his influence and dedication over the years.
Outside the classroom, Mr. Collins enjoys swimming and taking his family out to dinner. 🍽️ He’s also an avid creative writer, with a fantasy novel under his belt and an active membership in The Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators. 📖✒️
Mr. Collins shares a home with a unique crew: a horse named Cloud and two cats that he and his family adore. 🐾
When it comes to travel, Yosemite National Forest tops his list of destinations he’d love to visit. 🏞️
Guided by two personal mottos, “The measure of your intelligence is not the questions you can answer, but the ones you ask,” and “Nothing succeeds like success,” Mr. Collins continues to leave a lasting impact on each of his students. 🌟
To all of the veterans in our community, Thank you for your service! We enjoy the freedoms we have because of your sacrifice.
