Mr. Ben
My name Ben Contine and I’m eager to start my second year as a 7th grade teacher, Middle School PLC Lead, and head of our Math Team. In collaboration with the amazing staff at the Honors Academy, my goal is to provide the highest quality education for our scholars. I hold Masters Degrees in Special Education and Educational Leadership. In addition, I hold a TESOL endorsement.
After a working in politics out of college, I began my teaching career in Las Vegas. At Las Vegas High School, I was headquartered in the math department teaching Algebra and Geometry. After moving to Carson City, I had the privilege of working as a teacher, instructional specialist, and administrator in the Carson City School District. When I made the difficult decision to move to Reno, I was so fortunate to find the right fit with the Honors Academy. I share their commitment to purposeful instruction and authentic learning.
This year, I look forward to working with your scholars to facilitate their growth and supporting them taking another step to achieving their greatest aspirations.
