Hi! My name is Joel Darden and I've been teaching at Grimsley High School since 2005.  I greatly enjoy teaching at Grimsley mostly because of the diversity of the student population and the opportunity to serve my community.  I teach American History 1 and 2, Honors and Standard.  

I was born in Fayetteville, NC (Fayettenam for some) and moved to Greensboro in 1992 to attend UNCG. After graduation, I attended Guilford College where I obtained a teaching license in Secondary Education. 

In my free time I enjoy running, riding bikes, playing music, reading and hanging out with my family.  I look forward to working with you this year.

Go Whirlies!
