Big thank you to the many (40+!) Island organizations involved and the staff and students that volunteered their time to help out at these organizations.
What is your role at MVRHS?
I am a World History teacher and an AP coordinator. Next year I am creating a Sports and Society elective and might possibly teach US History 2.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up on the West Coast of Florida.
Where did you go to college and what did you study?
I attended the University of Central Florida and studied social science education.
Why did you move here from Florida?
I moved to Massachusetts so that my wife could be closer to her family and friends, because she grew up in Lexington, and so that my children could have a better education.
How did you become coordinator of AP testing?
I had some experience from back in Florida and after Mr. Burgoyne left MVRHS, the school needed someone to take over and fill the position.
What do you do in your free time?
I play golf and coach my kid’s little league baseball team.
Are you involved in any other school activities?
I was part of the SWEAR training this year and my hope is to get involved in more school sports next year.
What is one thing that people don’t know about you?
I’m an only child.

The Harvard Forest Project
The Harvard Forest Project hopes to collect data from around the State of Massachusetts about forests. In the State Forest we have begun exploring how forests change over time, including the response of forests to different environments and land use; and how forest composition and growth respond to future natural and human-caused disturbances. This year we identified 2 sites to compare forest health over time in similar areas- one with no-controlled burn and one in a controlled burn area. We are working with the Vineyard Conservation Society and Chris Bruno to collect ongoing data on these sites. During flex we will be discussing options for interest in this project as community service, a club activity or science project data collection. If you are interested in hearing more about this project please come to Ms. Cotton’s Room in Project Vine. Thursday, 5/31. ** Sign up for ALT ED/Science, Cotton**
