Featured Teacher: Steve Moor, 7th-9th Grade

Steve Moor, or Mr. Steve as he is known to his students, has a simple goal for his teaching career: 

Teach students how to build a better world.

How does he do that? Through mentoring. Mr. Steve has BA's in Religion and English, and a Masters in Teaching, and he uses that knowledge to really reach kids. He mentors students by modeling Christ's behavior and asking kids to apply Christian principles to everyday problems and life events. 

Mr. Steve has many interests, and this year he is most excited to be teaching and mentoring students in the areas of Music, Videography, Yearbook and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). He incorporates communication technology into his English, Social Studies and Publications classes, which enriches students' learning and gives them valuable skills in today's world. 

Mr. Steve prepares students not just for college, but for life through his mentoring and skill building. We are glad to have him as part of our TVA team!
