Hello parents, guardians, and students. My name is Shane Dowdney and I teach the STEM/ Exploratory class at Thomson-McDuffie Middle School. I am also the archery coach, which is taught during STAR period. This is my 16th year teaching and my 5th year at the school. I have taught every grade from 4th -9th grades. I served honorably for four years in the United States Navy, where I was able to travel the world, make many lasting friendships, and learn discipline and many other skills that have served me well in adulthood.
I am a sports nut. I played numerous sports and I have been coaching various sports for the past 21 years. In addition to sports, I love being in nature, especially the mountains. I would rather be exploring the trails in the mountains and taking pictures of wildlife than pretty much anything else in my spare time.
I am a Georgia boy who grew up in Cairo in southwest Georgia, and I am certainly glad to be back home after an extended stint in East Tennessee and a few less than stellar residencies in Florida. I am married to, Melissa, the love of my life, and together we have 6 kids, with two still living at home and attending Thomson High School.
