The Spirit of Academics . . . is centered on scholastic pursuits. My classroom subjects encompass a wide variety of topics and ideas. Blackboard equations in math class, intricate experiments in the laboratory sciences, the rhythm and harmony of music in band and choir, skillful craftsmanship in the vocational arts, the analysis of current events in history class, and learning in myriad other fields. I offer to challenge the creativity of my students, to stimulate their minds searching for knowledge.
