¡Hola! I'm the Spanish teacher here at RGMS. I hold a B.A. in Spanish from the University of North Texas ('14) and Master of Education from Portland State University. I am passionate about the joy of learning languages and am thrilled to share that joy with my students. Outside of teaching, my interests include backcountry travel, listening to jazz music, and learning about linguistics.

Mr. David Kennedy

Hi! I am the computer teacher (Tech 1 & 2) and local techy-nerd at RGMS. In an earlier life, I worked at AT&T as a UNIX administrator in Atlanta, GA. I’m originally from the biggest little state in the union, Rhode Island. I graduated from Providence College as an English major, and I completed a teacher program at Concordia in 2009. I enjoy anything computer-related, running (10+ miles/week), classical music, and being a teacher.

I am thrilled to be at Robert Gray this year as your child’s art teacher. This is my seventh year In PPS. Since 2001, I have taught art all over Portland at a variety of venues including the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland State University, and the Portland Children’s Museum. I hold a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA and M Ed from Portland State. In my free time I like to do ceramics and hand in embroidery, roller skate, and hang out with my Boston Terrier, Tito. Check out our instagram page RGMSartroom
