Chemistry – Paul Price

Paul D. Price is the Science Department Chairman at Trinity Valley School in Fort Worth, Texas, where he has taught chemistry, AP Chemistry, physics, and AP Physics since 1998. He earned a B.S. in Chemistry and Mathematics from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas and an M.S. in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Rumor has it that Paul’s courses are difficult because he is a stickler for understanding “the why” in chemistry. Fortunately, students say his classes are always entertaining. In 2004 the Dallas-Fort Worth Section of the American Chemical Society honored Paul with the Werner Schulz Award for Outstanding High School Chemistry Teaching. He has also been awarded the ACS Southwest Region Teacher of the Year in 2005 and was named one of the top teachers in Fort Worth by Fort Worth, Texas Magazine in 2014.

Paul is a co-author of two chemistry laboratory manuals, an author and reviewer for the Journal of Chemical Education, and a frequent presenter at regional and national conferences, often discussing techniques to improve molecular-level problem solving skills and ways to further the innovative use of technology in chemistry and physics. Paul is also a question leader at the annual AP Chemistry reading and served as a member of the AP Chemistry Test Development Committee for 10 years. Currently, he continues to help develop the Pre-AP Chemistry course for the College Board.

Away from school, Paul enjoys spending time with his wife, Lenore, and seeing the world through the eyes of his two children, Micah and Kiersten. He can be reached anytime at tvschem@sbcglobal.net
