Mark Hill ROE 35 Academy

As a disabled Marine I decided my service should be looking for and encouraging the best in others. Teaching fills that need.

Tell us why you became a teacher

After serving in the Marine Corps, I served as a correctional officer. From that experience I decided I would rather spend my time looking for the best in people, rather the worst. Education offered that focus.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My first year teaching I had 7th grade student reading at a first grade level, by the end of that year we were reading at a 5th grade level.
