Brian Heslip EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: I attended Fr. Gabriel Richard High School in Ann Arbor. From there I received my BS from Aquinas College in Grand Rapids with a major in Biology and minor in Chemistry. I currently have a Masters in General Science from Eastern Michigan University. PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND: From 1987-1993 I taught and coached (Golf & Science Olympiad) at Fr. Gabriel Richard High School. From 1993 to the present I have been teaching at Saline High School where I have taught a variety of classes including Anatomy and Physiology, AP Biology, Microbiology, Physical Science, Science I and Science II. I also coach the Science Olympiad Team. PERSONAL INFORMATION: I have been happily married for 20 years and have 5 children. The eldest is attending MSU Lyman Briggs School of Science majoring in Biomolecular Biochemistry. When I'm not enjoying teaching you can find me golfing or in the Little Manistee River trout fishing. I also enjoy zymurgy experiments in my basement at home. |
