St Jude Marathon 2018

The St. Jude marathon follows a scenic Boston-qualifying course through the city of Memphis, starting outside FedExForum. Near mile 5, the course passes through the St. Jude campus , where patients, their families and other onlookers gather to cheer. Runners will also pass through Overton Park, scenic neighborhoods and several Memphis historic areas before finishing in front of a crowd on Union Avenue . After the race, participants can join the finish festival at AutoZone Park .

The Stroud Family participated in the race in honor of a beloved family member. Way to go, Matthew and the Stroud Family!

Hello! My name is Mark Harris and I've been teaching since 2008. Prior to becoming a teacher, I was a banker for over 15 years. I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Christian Brothers University and a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Memphis. I've taught Keyboarding, Personal Finance, Interactive Multimedia Design & Presentation, and AP Computer Science Principles. I'm thrilled and excited to be a part of the East T-STEM family.

Did you know that Mr. Harris participated in the

AP Computer Science Principles Summit

@ Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California?

This was the opportunity and professional development of a lifetime and only 100 teachers from thousands of applicants throughout the country were selected.

We were the hottest seat in the house at the 901 School Choice Fair Saturday!
