Hey there! My name is Cole Gilliam, and I'll be your child's 8th Grade ELA teacher for the 2021-2022 school year. I was born in Greenville (TX) and went to school in Celeste (TX) where I graduated from Celeste High School in 2010. I began attenting college in 2010 at Texas A&M University - Commerce, and graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor's of Business Administration in Finance. It was after working in the field of insurance for multiple years that I came to a realization of what I really wanted to do - being an educator and helping to develop kids into knowledgeable adults. I am beginning my first full year as a new teacher here at Robinson Middle School, but was a Permanent Substitute in the same position all during the spring of the 2020-2021 school year.  When I'm not teaching I enjoy working out, playing and watching sports, going out with friends, spending time with family, being involved with my church and traveling as often as possible.
