My name is Gary Minnich, and I have been teaching mathematics for over 35 years. I graduated from Warwick High School and Franklin & Marshall College many, many years ago. I returned to Warwick to teach in 2005 but was a little apprehensive about working in the school district where I lived. However, I soon realized the benefits of teaching the students who lived in my community. I can definitely get to know my students on a deeper level. Seeing a student have that “aha” moment while solving a difficult problem is both rewarding and priceless to me.
