About Mr. Santos
Hello everyone, my name is Leroy D. Santos and I am excited about being here at West Mecklenburg High School. This is my first year teaching here at West Meck, I came down to Charlotte from Greensboro, where I worked at a middle school for the past two years and a high school in Alamance county prior to that. I was born in Washington D.C., but raised in a small country town called Vanceboro, NC on the eastern part of the state. (click here for a visual of where it is) . In Vanceboro, I was raised by my grandparents along with my other siblings (middle of 5) and I grew up and went to school in that area. I recieved the Teaching Fellows Scholarship and after high school I went on to college at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG), which made me the first in my family to attend college. At the university, I studied mathematics with a focus on secondary education and I minored in Spanish and studied in Spain for a summer. From there I began teaching and now I continue that adventure in Charlotte here at West Meck. Once again, I am excited to be here at West Meck and to be able to continue to grow as a teacher and see students grow and achieve in mathematics.
