DESMOND GOODWIN

Desmond Goodwin, a scholar with a knack for all things historical, is an incoming Foundations of Global History and Modern Global History teacher. Her passion for history comes from the important role history informs how we see and understand our world today. She stated that “the historical discipline has been weaponized by those in power to instill prejudice and divide people, so in studying it we can recognize and combat this but it can be a powerful tool for bringing people together and creating a more equitable and just society.” Her inspiration and mentor—her high school French teacher, rowing coach, and advisor—taught her about empathy, patience, and the power of asking for help. In addition to history, Ms. Goodwin has a passion for rowing and will help coach the crew team this spring. 

LUKE TICHI

Luke Tichi, a math whiz and proud Coloradan, will also be joining the Circle. He will teach both AP Calculus AB and AP Computer Science in addition to coaching cross country and track. Mr. Tichi’s college professor, Professor Leo Goldmaker, a passionate mathematician, taught him important lessons in both cryptography and how exciting teaching a subject you are truly interested in can be. Mr. Tichi is passionate about math due to its ability to build upon itself and combine previous material with new ideas, blossoming into something complex and exciting. He looks forward to sharing his love for math and running with his students this year. 

MAEVE HARRINGTON

Maeve Harrington, an accomplished field and ice hockey player, is an incoming Latin fellow. In college, Ms. Harrington studied abroad in Rome, immersing herself in Italian culture and ancient Roman history, captained the varsity field hockey team for two consecutive years, and also played club hockey. Her passion for her sports led her to assist in coaching field hockey, ice hockey, and lacrosse this year. Ms. Harrington is fascinated by the study of classics due to its ability to teach students how to read texts written over 2,000 years ago, demonstrating the similarities and connections between modern-day lives and those of the Ancient Romans. 

MAXIMO FERNANDEZ SCHEINOWITZ

Originally from Argentina but hailing from Florida, Maximo Fernandez Scheinowitz will be teaching Precalculus with Trigonometry and AP Calculus BC this year. The two main points that separate mathematics from other sciences, to Mr. Fernandez Scheinowitz, are the adaptability and objectivity of the subject. He believes that at its core, mathematics is a language, and the possibilities of what we can describe with it are endless: physics, chemistry, and statistics. Although math is a big part of Mr. Fernandez Scheinowitz’s identity, being Argentinian is also important to him. Consequently, he has a deep-rooted passion for soccer and looks forward to being an assistant coach for the JV soccer team.
