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 27th year in education, my 24th 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 have two adult sons who have graduated from BISD and a daughter who currently attends school here in Bastrop. I'm happy to be teaching in my 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.
