Alex Emerson

Alex Emerson joined Renbrook in 2026 as a STEAM and Woodshop faculty member in the Upper School, working with students in Grades 5 through 8. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Syracuse University and a Master of Education in Grades 5–12 Education from Fitchburg State University. He also earned an Engineering for Engineers certificate from the University of St. Thomas.

Before coming to Renbrook, Alex taught science and mathematics at Wilbraham & Monson Academy and engineering and mathematics at The Winchendon School. His teaching combines technical knowledge with hands-on exploration, inviting students to develop practical skills, exercise their creativity, and approach challenging problems with curiosity.

Alex especially enjoys seeing students apply newly learned skills in unexpected ways and discover how their ideas can benefit both themselves and their communities. He appreciates Renbrook’s welcoming atmosphere and the sense of community shared by faculty and staff. Outside the classroom, Alex shares his home with his two black cats.
