SME Mr. Chris: Chapter 3 - Willy's Dog Searchlight

Meet Mr. Chris

CHRIS CASSELL taught 2nd graders at SME during the 2007-2008 school year and has rejoined the faculty after teaching overseas for several years. After earning a BA from Bowdoin College, he worked for L.L.Bean for several years before serving the Peace Corps in Armenia from ’97-’99 and then earning an MA in Applied Anthropology from Oregon State University, which became a teaching certificate from the Upper Valley Educators Institute. His family lived on the Red Sea campus of Saudi Arabia’s first co-educational university where Chris taught (and his two children studied) in an international school with students from over 80 nations. Chris enjoys traveling with his family, and their biggest trip was an 11,000 mile, six week cross-country adventure in a VW Camper
