Mr. James Roche applies his expansive knowledge of mathematics to sports, acting as the faculty bookie. A common question concerning him is "What is he thinking about when he walks in the halls?" Nobody takes his math more seriously than Mr. Michael Ponisciack. No math problem is beyond his capabilities. His impeccable knowledge and reasoning shine as a guide through even the clouded darkness of statistics. Now about my report card grade ... After being overwhelmed by last year's programming classes, Mr. James Bradley wisely decided to stick to math, and we think he's doing a great job; he spices up class with anecdotes concerning everything from Euclid to Monty Python in a low-key style all his own. Just how important is a good notebook? Just ask Mr. Joseph Radvansky. Using clever metaphors and analogies, Mr. Rad will discourse on anything from doing homework to being a good assistant football coach. "Watch This! This is tremendous!" are common words you hear from Mr. John Frizalone in room 209 - even if you're in room 218. Mr. Friz offers a very enthusiastic and lively teaching style.
