Hello and welcome to my website!  My name is Alonzo Fugate, and I have been teaching in the Breathitt County School System for 24 years now.  During that time, I have taught several grade levels and have been blessed to be a part of this wonderful school system.

I obtained my Bachelor's Degree from Eastern Kentucky University in 1995.  After that, I taught for 1/2 year in Lexington.  It was a really good experience, but I wanted to come "back home" to Breathitt County.  I missed the area and the good, honest people that we are known for in this part of the world.  So, I was so happy to be offered a teaching job at LBJ Elementary in 1997.  Of course I accepted it!

In 2000, I obtained my Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Morehead State University.  However, I wasn't satisfied with stopping there.  I worked for and achieved National Board Certification in Teaching by 2003.

Being a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) means that I have passed National Standards in teaching.  I love teaching.  I find it very rewarding.  As a professional teacher, I promise to do my very best for each and every student. 

In 2010, I became a father to a little boy named Jacob Eduard Bryson Fugate.  He is the joy in my life!

In my spare time, I love to travel and write.  I have traveled to many places in the world including several states in the USA (Florida, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, California, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana).  I have also traveled to Mexico, Aruba, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic.  I believe that travel is very educational.  I have found that people are people...no matter where in the world you find yourself!
