Mr. Alex Milledge

My name is Mr. Milledge and I am the Drama/Journalism teacher at Bernstein! My career has spanned many different fields and interests. My relationship to the theatre began when in college when I was hired as a stagehand for the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton, CA. I helped stage plays and concerts doing sound and props. I have also made cameos in short films and performed onstage reciting poetry and doing standup comedy. I began my journalism career as Managing Editor of my high school newspaper, and then as a staff writer for my community college newspaper where I was also a news anchor for our public news station. I have also self-published articles about music and politics. I am also a solo recording artist (my catalogue is on all streaming platforms including Spotify) and perform regularly with the Landlights Community Choir. When I am not working, I like working out, running, and going to soccer matches to support my favorite clubs (Manchester City and OCSC).

Magnet Coordinator

Magnet Coordinator & Computer Science Teacher Masters in Education, University of Southern California Bachelor of Science, Business and Marketing Currently teaching AP Computer Science, Generative Art & Design, Exploring Computer Science, Algebra 1. Taught Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, AP Calculus, Statistics, Data Science, Business, Web Design, Leadership and Yearbook. Prior to becoming a teacher, I held several positions in the film, music and radio industries. The experience I gained in the entertainment business has been an invaluable asset and has led me to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a teacher. I have always been fascinated with computers and new technology. As a consequence, I am constantly searching for curriculum that will prepare students for the jobs of the future. As a lifelong learner I believe the enthusiasm that a teacher exhibits for any subject, idea or technology, will help to engage students in learning. This in turn will increase productivity in the classroom and lead to mastery of the important concepts and skills necessary for a highly successful career in their chosen industry.
