Mr. Allemang is an English teacher here at BPHS. He manages to keep everything in line even though his hands are constantly full with all the programs he helps out with. Other than the five English classes that he teaches every day, he also teaches Journalism class, coaches for the track team, runs Yearbook Club, Newspaper Club and Camera Club, and last but certainly not least, he coaches cross country at Independence Middle School.

One moment that stands out to me is when one of my students bought me a pack of Palomino Blackwing pencils for my birthday, and I still have them to this day.

Who do you think has the most drip in the school?

Mr. Qualk… he has the most drip out of all the teachers. Overall, he is a cool guy. He seems to have it all together and he’s a very good teacher. I aspire to be like Mr. Qualk. Sometimes he has been known to play Jesus around Easter time at his church.

What are some of your favorite bands or musicians?

My favorite band is Sigur Ros. They are an Icelandic Post Rock group, and I tend to like post-rock in general. Some other bands that I like are Explosions in the Sky and This Will Destroy You. I like post-rock because it moves my soul like no other genre can do.
