The 2023-2024 school year will be Mr. Anderson's eighth year at The Rock. Prior to joining Rock Ridge in 2016, Mr. Anderson enjoyed six years at Freedom High School in South Riding, VA. For the 2023-2024 school year, Mr. Anderson will teach Dual Enrollment English and English 10 Academic. In addition to teaching, Mr. Anderson co-chairs the English department with his colleague, Sean Heron.

Mr. Anderson graduated from Shippensburg University with a BA in English in 2010. In the spring of 2017, Mr. Anderson completed his MA in Professional Writing and Rhetoric at George Mason University with a concentration in composition studies.

Of course, Mr. Anderson strives to equip his students with the reading, writing, and research skills they'll need to succeed in college, but he also aspires to cultivate a love for learning, reading, and writing that extends beyond the classroom. On a daily basis, Mr. Anderson aims to lead by example, reading, writing, and revising alongside his students. His classroom, 1603, is a place designed for students to draft, revise, communicate, think, and create.
