Chad Ritzer

My Bio

My journey into the world of art began, oddly enough, with cars. I spent years working as a mechanic turning wrenches on cars. When I went to college, my experience as a mechanic lead me to study something related to science; I chose Chemistry. But when I stumbled into a Pottery class, I knew that I had found my true passion. I enjoy very much the relationship that art has with science and mathematics, and use both on a daily basis in my life as an art teacher.

Ian A. Fitzpatrick 

My Bio

My love for Science began when I was young. It seemed as though I couldn't get enough information about the natural world around me. This fascination led me to pursue a degree in geology and eventually a Masters in Geoscience. I love teaching students about the Earth and the processes that shape our planet. When I am not working I spend as much time as possible outside pursuing outdoor recreation. I like to snowboard, ski, kayak, rock climb, and mountain bike.

Kristin Houle

My Bio

My name is Kristin Houle (rhymes with pool), and I teach 6th and 7th grade English and History, as well as High School French. I love the French culture and language. I have been to France three times in my life, one time living there with a family for a semester in college. That was the best way of learning French, and made me fluent in the language. While French is one passion, my other is a love for kids of all ages. I enjoy helping others discover the power of learning inside themselves! At home, I like to bake, do paper crafting, camp with my family, and to travel. The photo was taken at the northern California coast. If you have ANY questions or concerns, DO communicate! I love to hear from my students, so keep in touch!
