What is your favorite thing to do outside of school? I enjoy spending time with family and friends and hitting the road or trails on my own two feet or bikes.

MR. MARONEY: 

What is your favorite thing about teaching? Being able to create a welcoming, safe environment where students can find a sense community and build an enthusiasm for learning.

What is your favorite thing to do outside of school? Spending time with my people and my dog, and trying to find time for nature, live music, and things with wheels.
