Mr.+Cox+Bio

I am in my 13th Year teaching with the Central Bucks School District. Although I initially taught at C.B. West I have been teaching here at South since its opening seven years ago. I primarily teach Honors World History, Psychology, AP European History, and Standard World History. In the past I have also taught Economics and International Relations.

My wife and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversery this past July and we have two children (ages 11 & 9) who attend the East Penn School District where we live up in the Lehigh Valley. Outside of our busy schedules we enjoy hiking, running, and biking together as a family.

This is my 7th year as a part of the coaching staff of the C.B. South Boy's Cross-Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field teams. I previously coached on/off at C.B. West as an assistant/head coach from 1998-2003. When South opened in 2004 I started the programs here and remained Head Coach until last year when I stepped down to spend more time as a volunteer coach with my own kids' soccer teams. I hold USATF Level I and Level II national certifications and have recently begun earning my US Soccer coaching licenses. I run speed camps and work with various soccer teams in helping develop their speed, agility, and overall conditioning in addition to my work as the mid-distance coach within the C.B. South track program.

I have my B.A. in History and B.S. in Secondary Education Social Studies from Clarion University out in Western PA. While at Clarion I was a member of Clarion University's Track and Cross Country Teams. In addition, I served on the Clarion University Student Senate for two years, one as President. I had the great privilege of spending part of my student teaching experience at Pimlico Secondary School in London, England.

I have my M.A. in International History from Temple University. My area of focus was diplomacy and globalization during the Cold War Era and I wrote my thesis on the pardoxical nature of detente as seen through U.S.-Soviet diplomacy during the Yom Kippur War. I also have achieved a Masters Equivalent in Education through Learner's Edge distance learning program (Colorado State University & University of St. Thomas).
