Mrs.
Brenda Alexander It was 1980 and the only high school that was close around for Eldersburg students to attend was South Carroll. Unfortunately, this school was becoming crowded and had an increasing number of students in the years to come. So the county decided to build a new high school. They decided to name it Liberty High School and in 1980 it opened. With a new school you need new teachers. One teacher that accepted the job in the English department was Mrs. Brenda Alexander. Growing up, she lived in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area and went to the beach a lot. She had two sisters and life was fun. Even though her family was middle class, she still enjoyed life to the fullest. Later in life she attended Towson University for her under grad and graduate school. It was a school that was not too large, nor too small. Here she had majored in English and French, satisfying her love for languages. Her father and mother inspired her to teach because they are both teachers. With her favorite subjects in school being English, French and Latin, she later in life decided to become an English teacher at Liberty High School. When Liberty first opened she started teaching there. She enjoyed, when the school opened, the formation of the smaller student body and how Liberty didn’t even have a graduating class. She also favored how everyone worked together like a family unit. Here at Liberty she has taught for 23 years; she also taught at FSK (Francis Scott Key High School) for one and a half years. In addition, she taught at a Catholic School for five years before she even came to Carroll County. Mrs. Alexander teacher 9th and 11th graders at Liberty High School. At this point in her life she really enjoys teaching because she cares about young people and every day is a new day - it has new experiences and new challenges. Currently, she has been teaching for 30 years. If she didn’t pursue her career in the English field she would have become a speech therapist. Her husband, daughter and nephew-in-law are all teachers. She has a son and a daughter who live with her in Baltimore City. In about 10 to 20 years she sees herself retiring and enjoying her grandchildren (she says hopefully her own children will have children). As always, she remembers the students that come back to Liberty and say to her “thank you for caring and teaching me.” Indeed, Mrs. Alexander has taught for many years and is greatly appreciated at Liberty High School. Thank you Mrs. Alexander. Related
