Mr. Gorse
Greetings! This is my 16th year Teaching at PHS. My prior careers included Network Design & Engineering, IT Management, Web Design and Marketing, Internet Start-ups and Accounting. Each of these roles has given me a diverse foundation that helps me teach classes that inspire students to expand their interest in Business, IT and Computer Science careers.
In addition to Pre-AP Computer Science and AP Computer Science, I have taught a broad range of CTE classes including A+ Computer & Network+ Certifications, Business Multimedia, Web Design, Principles of IT, Computer Programming, Microsoft Office (BIM), Entrepreneurship, Business Law and Money Matters.
In both 2015 and 2016 I was chosen to receive grants from the PISD Education Foundation that I used to acquire Android Tablets for my Pre-AP Comp Sci classes in which we designed and built Android Apps using App Inventor. Students loved seeing their Apps live on the Tablets! Watch the video about Android Tablets in the classroom!
I sponsor the PHS Computer Science Club which continues to grow each year. Members are challenged to expand their programming skills and will have the opportunity to compete at UIL Events and other competitions.
This year's line-up includes 3 sections of Pre-AP Computer Science and 1 section of AP Computer Science and 2 sectionS of Money Matters.
