About Me

Hello, I’m Kevin Asher Karnes. I’m a certified English Language Arts and Career and Technical Education teacher at Polytechnic Senior High School in Fort Worth, Texas. I teach beginning to advanced level courses for children in Grades 9 through 12.

As a teacher, my goal is to help my students develop intellectually, socially, and emotionally. I design my lessons to accommodate all styles of learning and strive to maintain a safe classroom environment that encourages curiosity, risk-taking, and the sharing of ideas.

In addition to managing my classes, I’m the assistant chair of my department, the sponsor of the Content Creator’s Club, a Junior Achievement Worldwide Educator, and an ESL and TEFL certified tutor for English learners. 

I hold a BA in Economics and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, both from the University of Massachusetts. I’m a highly qualified teacher in the state of Texas, certified in English Language Arts and Reading Grades 7 - 12, Hospitality, Nutrition, and Food Science Grades 8 - 12, and English as a Second Language Grades 7 - 12.

In my free time, I enjoy photography, downhill skiing, and cooking with friends.
