My name is Coach Samuel Burnside, and I am the AP Calculus AB, Honors Pre-Cal, and Honors Algebra 1 teacher for the 2025 - 2026 School Year! I graduated high school just a little ways up the road from Lorena High School in 2014. I enrolled at UTSA in the Fall of 2014, and I graduated in the Spring of 2018 with a B.S. in Mathematics. Then, in the Fall of 2018, I enrolled in Grad School to pursue of Master's Degree in Mathematics Education. As of Summer 2021, I can happily say that I have completed and indeed have my Master's Degree!
In addition to potentially being your student's math teacher, I could also be their coach! I am an Assistant Coach for the Football Team where I coach Tight Ends, Kickers, and Freshman Special Teams. I also am the Head Boy's Soccer Coach for LHS!
This will be my sixth year of teaching/coaching, and my fourth in Lampasas! I am eager to continue to be a part of Badger Nation and help to influence your child via mathematics and athletics in any way that I can.
