Teacher Spotlight
Kenneth Wasemann
Science TeamI am proud to be returning for my eleventh year at McKeel Academy. I graduated in 1999 from the University of Florida earning a degree in Zoology with a minor in Secondary Education. This year I am teaching Biology and Computer Technology.
This will be the tenth year that I will be co-sponsoring the McKeel Drama Club. Together with a great cast of student actors, we have produced more than a dozen memorable performances; ranging from slap-stick comedies to classic dramas; mystery dinner theaters to Shakespearian tragedies. I am looking forward to another great season.
Also, I am excited to be sponsoring the McKeel Fencing Club for a third year. In 2008, we introduced the sport of fencing to McKeel and began building a great recreational program. This year I hope to expand the club by building our membership and participating in several regional competitions.
Outside of school I enjoy watching movies, playing video games, and spending time with my wonderful wife, my great friends, and my crazy pets.
