New Faculty/Staff Spotlight 2024: Meet Ken Smyrk, US English Teacher
Meet Ken Smyrk! Ken’s love for language was first sparked by his sophomore year English teacher, who introduced him to the world of crossword puzzles—an interest that Ken still shares with his students today. Beyond the classroom, Ken is an amateur radio operator who knows Morse code, having even run an amateur radio station at his previous school! An avid reader, music enthusiast, and cyclist, Ken’s varied passions range from vintage audio equipment to reading The Canterbury Tales in Middle English. His favorite quote is from Seneca, Letter LXXVII, "As it is with a play, so it is with life - what matters is not how long the acting lasts, but how good it is. It is not important at what point you stop. Stop wherever you will - only make sure you round it off with a good ending." Anchors aweigh, Ken!
