Social Studies Department

Hey everyone! My name is Tim Downes and I’ve been teaching since 2015, mostly at BRMS. I’ve taught Social Studies the entire time in grades 6 through 8. I was born and raised here in Columbus, GA. I graduated from Hardaway High School and have a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Columbus State University. My wife Joy, who is also a teacher, have been married since 2014. We have 3 rescue dogs, who we love and take walks with! We love to travel, hear live music, and any free time that we have with our family and friends! I’m blessed to have such great people in my life! I really enjoy being a teacher, getting to help my students learn and enjoy Social Studies! I hope they all feel my classroom as an environment of care, enjoyment, optimism, and support for everyone. Lastly, Go Dawgs!
