__Mr. Justin Bruyer__ 7th Grade Math Teacher - Darden Middle School
 * Mr. Bruyer, originally from Buffalo, NY, moved to North Carolina in the summer of 2007. After graduating from S.U.N.Y. at Fredonia in 2004, armed with a bachelor's in Criminal Justice and a minor in Sociology, Mr. Bruyer worked for several years in retail loss prevention at Home Depot and Lowe's. Having always wanted to be a teacher, Mr. Bruyer decided to take the Praxis II in MS Math and began teaching as a lateral entry teacher at Darden Middle School in Wilson County in January of 2008.

Since that first, agonizing day, Mr. Bruyer has seen much success, both in and out of the classroom. He has never had a class that was less than 80% proficient on the NC End-of-Grade test for seventh grade. Many of Mr. Bruyer's students go on to be successful in 8th grade and beyond, several in Wilson County's Early College Academy.

Mr. Bruyer also coaches the baseball team and is an assistant football coach for the hard-hitting Trojans. He serves on the AVID site team, the School Leadership committee, the Renaissance committee, and is a co-advisor of the school's yearbook. Mr. Bruyer also is the advisor of the very successful Trojan Horse, Darden MS's everyday school store. ** Please feel free to contact Mr. Bruyer at anytime.
