Alex Doty (Education Specialist) 

Q: Which school did you teach at in previous years?

A: I taught at Lakeside Middle School for two years and I just started the third year here.

Q: If not personal, can I ask you why you decide to come to Woodbridge High School?

A: I like working with older students. I definitely enjoy teaching a lot of life skills…for them to get future jobs and become members of a community.

Q: What subjects did you teach before and what are you teaching right now? And why?

A: I was an autism specific teacher that covered the whole curriculum like English and math…and I taught life skills in the sense of going out in the community. Right now, I have an art class I teach in the afternoon and I also teach math and English.

Q: What is one significant thing different about Woodbridge High than in any other schools?

A: I would just say, coming from middle school, it is just the amount of students; there are so many more students here.

Q: What are some significant things different about your class?

A: Different energy and different vibes that make each of the classes unique.

Q: What are you looking forward to the most in this year?

A: I think just really becoming a part of the club Warrior Nation, like becoming a part of high school atmosphere. Also, I grew up playing sports…it would be nice to be involved in volleyball in some aspects.

Q: You don’t have to pick a single student, but what is one thing that you want to compliment about your students?

A: The students are very knowledgeable; it is amazing to hear what they say about a certain subject. It is getting the passion out of them. It’s been a fun journey learning about each student and finding what they are passionate about and what they prefer, what they don’t prefer. Students are really opening up and being a part in this community.

Fun Fact: Other than his role as an educator, Doty wishes to start a family and live in a spacious house with a large couch, television and nicely built windows, enjoying the view from his house.
