A freshman history teacher, Mr. McKeon is responsible for formulating the minds of our youngest students. One former student expressed his thoughts about him, “Mr. McKeon’s incredible personality, his constant zeal for greatness, and his amazing ability to educate students on life skills are exactly the qualities that make him a stellar teacher. I would not be the hardworking honors student that I am today if he had not shown me the path to success in academics, and more importantly in life.” Mr. McKeon teaches content but more importantly he teaches principled integrity. Mr. McKeon’s principled integrity is not only a personal characteristic, but is his gift to his students.
