Hi there! I am Coach Bearden and I have been a PE teacher since 2021. I came to MCES in 2019 and taught first grade for two years before becoming a PE teacher. I graduated from the University of Tennessee at Martin in the spring of 2011 and began teaching the following fall. I am married with two children that also attend MCES. I enjoy running, being the student director at Gum Springs Baptist Church, hiking, going to the beach, reading, and being with my family. If you need anything you can reach out to me by email at [email protected] or ParentSquare. I know we will have an amazing year.
