Generations of students were impacted by their teaching, and we are grateful for the impact that they have had. We now transition to the new Department Chair Dave Torpe ’03, as well as first year cougar teachers Shannon Malone and Gus Karapanos ’14. Shannon is an experienced teacher transitioning to Conant from Resurrection College Prep, teaching Chemistry and Coaching Basketball. Gus is a CHS grad from 2014 who spent time as a CHS teacher’s assistant and now is a full-time biology teacher and wrestling coach. As part of the changes that all spaces are feeling, the science department is excited to be bringing back three field trips to our students in September. Students will have opportunities to visit the International Museum of Surgical Science, Spring Valley Nature Center, and the Indiana Dunes. In each of these trips, students will have rich opportunities to extend their learning outside of the classroom.
