Mr. Fisher
To teach Ancient History and Creative Writing Skills at The Howard School, you need a teacher like Mr. Fisher: someone who has traveled the world (he spent 46 months visiting 44 countries from Tasmania to Tanzania, Spain to Samoa), is a published author and a professional photographer. We are very lucky to have him as one of our faculty members. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from San Diego State University. There he earned his Secondary Education, English teaching credential. He began teaching in 2009 and joined our staff in 2011. Mr. Fisher also teaches the 6th through 8th Grade Science and Literature.
Mr. Fisher offers the students a unique perspective on life. His enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge and experiences is evident in the relationship he builds with each student. According to Mr. Fisher, “I find it refreshing that the middle school students are still receptive to guidance and leadership; they are so respectful of others and of themselves. The smaller class size seems to have given them the opportunity to really discover who they are. You don’t see a division between the boys and the girls, they support each other in a unique way and work as a united group”. Mr. Fisher looks forward to helping them complete their science projects for the annual Science Fair held in the spring. This is an exciting part of the year and the students show a keen interest in presenting their best work. Mr. Fisher says, “I see my role as helping the students work more independently and guiding them through long-term objectives as they prepare for High School.”
