He is passionate about teaching history and we are eager to see him excel in his role as one of our sixth & seventh grade teachers. 
Mr. Martin shared, “Studying the past offers us a sense of identity and gives us many experiences to draw from. The goal, then, is to form students into critical thinkers; equipping them with knowledge and human experience. I hope that the study of history can give students a better understanding of the world in which they live, and apply that knowledge and experience to become wise individuals.”
