Brian Tidwell

The 2021-2022 school year will be my 22nd overall year in education and my 21st year at Indian Lake Middle School.  I taught 8th grade Science, Language Arts and Social Studies for 7 years and 7th grade Science for one year.  This will be my 13th year teaching 5th grade.   I also served as a varsity head baseball coach for 9 years total at New Bremen and Indian Lake.  I have also coached football for 11 years as both a varsity assistant and at the middle school level.  I have also coached middle school basketball at ILMS.  I graduated from New Bremen High School in 1994.  I earned both my bachelor’s (1999) and master’s (2008) degrees from Wright State University.  My wife, Mandy Tidwell, is the middle school guidance counselor. Prior to that, she taught special education for 7 years in the 8th grade.  We have three children, Tyler (7th grade), Claire (5th grade), and Ross (3rd grade).
