About Me

My Photo
Tim Hornbacher
After spending 8 years in retail management, I discovered that teaching and technology were my two favorite skills. So I left my job and earned my Masters in Education. I am now a teacher at Mount Vernon High School. In my career I have taught Digital Communications, Business Law, 7th and 8th Grade Science, and Applied Math.
