Mr. Beck became a teacher to help make a difference in his students' lives; teaching his students to set goals for themselves and then putting the work in to achieving them and watching their faces light up when they do. He incentivizes his students with his “Beck’s Bucks” while also providing a lesson in economics!  He is passionate about providing his students with a strong academic and faith foundation, prepared for their next level of learning in middle school and beyond. He enjoys spending quality time with family & friends as well as watching & playing sports particularly baseball, football & hockey.(His love of sports is evident in his classroom decorations!)
