Mr. John Below

After serving in the US Army, I started teaching in 2003.  I have been teaching in Plano East since 2007.  I am teaching Advanced Quantitative Reasoning (AQR) and Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus AB this year.  I am very excited about teaching Math and showing my students that mathematics is a way of thinking to solve problems we may face in and out of the classroom.  I am eager to work with parents and students and help the students be successful.

All information (calendar, learning goals, etc.) for parents and students may be found in Google Classroom (all students should have enrolled) and in links under course information (which will direct you to the classroom site).

I am also the sponsor of the Hockey Club.
