Welcome to the Colorado River Collegiate Academy! I teach freshmen English I and Creative Writing the first semester. In the second semester, I teach all of our freshmen in their first college course, EDUC 1300. This is my 23rd year in education, my 20th in Bastrop ISD.  

 I'm originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, where I received my undergraduate degree in English/ Secondary Education from The University of New Orleans. After moving to Bastrop, I earned my Masters in Education from Concordia Texas. I'm married to a fellow Bastrop ISD educator, and we have two school aged children, both of whom attend BISD schools. Our oldest is a Bastrop High School graduate. I'm happy to be teaching in our adopted hometown.      

You can reach me by email at alaurent@bisdtx.org or by phone, 512-772-7230, extension 28416.

I am available for tutoring on Tuesdays and Wednesdays before or after school, but please feel free to come by whenever. I can usually accommodate you on a short notice.
