World History- 10th Grade

U.S. History- 11th Grade

My name is Coach Chandler and I teach World History & U.S. History here at Hobbs High and am the assistant swim coach. I graduated from Texas A&M in 2018 (Whoop!) and this is my 8th year as a teacher. As for some fun facts about myself, I enjoy getting lost in a good book or game, and I enjoy writing. I can also play the violin, speak German, and I'm related to one of the Salem Witches...so watch out
