ABOUT MR. HAGGARD

WHY I BECAME A TEACHER

• I became a teacher to help prepare and guide students through the complicated world they will soon enter.

• As a teacher, it is a privilege to be in such a unique position to be part of the change I want to see in the world.

EDUCATION

• I graduated from Grand Canyon University with a BA in English Literature in 2013.

​

EXPERIENCE 

• I began teaching in Los Banos, California as an AP Language and Composition teacher in 2014. 

• I moved to Idaho in 2016 and taught 8th grade English.

• In 2017, I became a part of the Zion family.

FAMILY AND OUTSIDE INTERESTS

• I am married to my wife of sixteen years. 

• We have four children who range from 26 to 9.

• When away from school, I can usually be found doing a myriad of things – doing anything from helping neighbors, playing with my two dogs, reading (usually scouting good books for my classroom), watching football (go Steelers!), writing (poetry, science fiction and creative non-fiction), range time, coaching soccer, or just hanging out with my kids.

WHY I TEACH AT ZION

• I teach at Zion because of the advanced nature of its classical curriculum.

• It also affords me the liberty of discussing and teaching about how/why God (and His word) are a part of everything I teach.

CLASSROOM MISSION STATEMENT

• To prepare and ensure the success of my students for the next level of their education by instilling in them a solid work ethic, a positive mental attitude, and the drive/desire to tackle the challenges that surely await them.
