Hello! My name is Will Gavin and this will be my first year working at Sacred Heart. In fact, having only graduated this spring from the University of Iowa, this coming 2022-2023 school year will be my first official year of being a teacher anywhere! It’s truly an honor to be given this chance to serve such a wonderful school and supportive community, and over the coming months—as I better get to know parents and students—I’m excited to become a deeper part of it!
I’ll be teaching mathematics for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, both core and advanced classes. Going through primary school, I had always seen math as a purely utilitarian subject: it was a subject that was essentially useful but nothing beyond that. At some point soon after graduating, however, I began to recognize math for its deep, mysterious, and sometimes profound beauty. Before I knew it I was watching math videos for fun and changing my major from language arts to mathematics. So thus, alongside teaching those essential math skills that are required for general life and higher education, it is my goal as a teacher to show students a side of math that will leave them with that same sense of wonder that drove me to this profession.
If you have any questions, concerns, or anything in between, please feel free to contact me at any time!
