New math teacher Mr. John Reeves has always enjoyed working with young students and seeing them experience new things. As the new math teacher, Mr. John Reeves can become a huge aspect to the Triton community.

Reeves received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Northeastern University in 1988. Although Reeves is the new math teacher here at Triton, he is not new to the school and has already been here for a couple of years.

“My first three years at Triton were working as an instructional assistant, which was a great way to see how things operate and get to know students and staff” he said. Reeves did not plan on teaching right away and was waiting to complete his Masters in Education, which he is currently finishing at the American International College.

While Reeves was finishing his Master’s in Education he was becoming a part of the Triton community, and when his current position became available, he said “ I had to apply and interview like everyone else, and having personal relationships with teachers and administrators certainly helped” he said.

Taking the step from an instructional assistant to a full-time math teacher can be hard, but Reeves says that the teachers here “have always been warm and willing to help me in my transition to the field of education, and always with the focus of helping other students.” he continued “It has been and continues to be a privilege to work with, and observe many teachers here at Triton.”  

Reeves enjoys being a teacher here at Triton with teachers who he feels uphold the highest standards of what it means to be educators. He loves seeing students think outside of the box and push themselves academically to do their best.

One of his students, Sean Landry, said that “Reeves is a very nice guy and cares a lot about teaching and making sure that his students understand what he is teaching.”

Student Jared Durkin, says that “Mr. Reeves is a very helpful teacher. He always tries his best to help me understand a new concept if I don’t get it.”

“Teaching full time requires many hours of preparation outside of school. I have new and continued respect for all teachers everywhere,” says Reeves.

Despite the challenges and hours of work he faces, Reeves feels like it is all worth it because he  has always enjoyed working with younger students and watching them grow academically, and he can share with his students the knowledge and experience he has learned from others, with his students.
