James Matthew Byers graduated with his Masters from Jacksonville State University in 2010. He has been teaching for 28 years, and is also a published poet and artist. Having four children of his own, Mr. Byers values his position as a mentor and instructor. Teaching is his calling, and he has embraced it to the fullest. In his classroom you will find vibrant lessons filled with real word application and value. However, the heart of his classes stems from the relationships built. Every single day, his students recite the following:

The WildCat Way is a standard of excellence 

bringing teachers and students together 

in meaningful relationships ensuring successful growth

in both personal and academic endeavors.

This is the WildCat Way, written by Mr. Byers as well.

He welcomes you to say hi anytime. Teaching, reaching, and shaping tomorrow ... these are the things he loves most.
