Hello! I'm John Reina, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the exciting world of education. With a passion for history, a dedication to teaching, and a background that includes a touch of athleticism, I'm here to make learning a journey of discovery. Educational Background: Armed with a Bachelor's degree in History., I've developed a deep appreciation for the stories that shape our world. Complementing this, I've earned a Masters in Secondary Education from refining my teaching techniques to engage and inspire young minds. Wrestling All-American: During my college days, I proudly wore the title of All-American wrestler. This experience taught me discipline, perseverance, and the value of teamwork. These lessons have become an integral part of my teaching philosophy, reminding me that success is a result of dedication and a willingness to overcome challenges. Teaching Philosophy: My classroom is a place where history comes to life, where students are not just spectators but active participants in the stories of the past. I believe in fostering critical thinking, encouraging open dialogue, and providing a safe space for students to ask questions and explore new perspectives.
