Background

About Chris Pelliccia

I have taught high school science (chemistry, genetics, and bioethics) for ten years in both boarding and day environments. I possess a passion for science, and the impact science has on the modern world. Specifically, I seek to turn my students into analytical problem solvers who are both scientifically literate and capable of understanding and engaging with emerging scientific issues in our society. In the capacity of a science teacher and cross country and track coach, I have combined my experience, knowledge of the content, and enthusiasm for education to make significant contributions to all aspects of the school environment.In addition to science and education, I have also always been interested in environmental issues and sustainability. Particularly, in the last few years I have thought a lot about urban planning and transportation, green construction, and alternative energies.Beyond science and chemistry, I have been competitively running since middle school and still enjoy both trail and road racing. I also am an avid history student, with a special focus on Early Modern Europe.
