With degrees from William & Mary and Old Dominion University, including a PhD in Education from ODU, Dr. Fischer brings an impressive 30 years of experience to the classroom. For the past 12 years, he has also served as Youth in Government sponsor and boys tennis coach at WBHS. He gains energy from inspiring students to dive deeper into government, philosophy, history, and especially tennis! 🎾
Dr. Fischer's approach to teaching is all about authentic relationships. He believes in getting to know students beyond the superficial, sharing stories, and truly listening to theirs. His philosophy? "I look for humor in most situations and don't take myself too seriously, but I take my job as a teacher and coach very seriously."
A colleague beautifully captures his impact: "His humility, generosity, and passion for teaching are qualities that set him apart as a leader and advocate for student success."
Dr. Fischer, thank you for 30 years of inspiring minds, building connections, and making learning an adventure! 💙💛
