Hi students and families! I started my teaching career in Augusta (Wisconsin) where I taught a variety of social studies courses for 8 years, along with coaching varsity football and track.  I joined Gateway to College in 2014, and had the opportunity to help build this program from its inception to becoming the largest Alternative-Learning-Center in SPPS.  I believe Gateway's focus on student relationships and student support creates a unique environment where all students can learn, grow and succeed.  In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and perfecting the art of low & slow BBQ along with spending time outdoors and with my 2 daughters.

At Gateway to College I teach 3 core social studies courses (U.S. History, U.S. Government, Economics) that are required for graduation and I'm a student advisor monitoring grades and helping students with their homework.  You can contact me at  brent.gilles@spps.org or 651-419-6636.
