20-21 Welcome Back Gilbert 7th-12th

Greetings Eagles!

It’s hard to believe, but the first day of the 2020-2021 school year is less than a week away. This year will be unlike any other we have ever experienced before. Regardless of whether we are online or in-person, we will continue to be the foremost IB World School around with our small classes and excellent faculty. We are growing rapidly and are excited to bring on board new staff and courses this school year! Please check out the biographies to get to know them early.

Our Eagle Days will be virtual this year and teachers have begun reaching out to their students via our Jupiter Ed program. Please watch for the emailed invitation for these “get to know you” sessions.

We look forward to seeing you virtually on the 16th and 17th and to another great year in Eagle Country. I am looking forward to meeting you, either online or in person!

Sincerely,

Lisa Ginn

EHS Dean of Students and Athletic Director Biography for Steve Boardman

Hello EDUPRIZE Eagles! My name is Steven Boardman and I come to you from the Great White North – Canada. Over the course of my life, I have found a wonderful balance between athletics and academics. This is my third year at EDUPRIZE and I have to say, I believe 2020-21 will be filled with adventure. I know it seems daunting, but trust me when I say, we are all in this together.

I have undergraduate degrees in Kinesiology and History. I also have a Master’s degree in History and an Education degree. Over my time spent teaching, I have taught everything from History to Law, English, Science, Math, Geography, Civics, and Physical Education.

What I bring to Eduprize is a wealth of energy, compassion, and a diverse professional and educational background. I believe that no one enjoys doing chores, but everyone loves to have fun. If we, as educators, make learning a chore, we are destined for failure. If we can make learning fun, we are bound to succeed!

I look forward to working with you all and hope to offer some unique educational experiences. I am here to advocate for my students and support the staff. Please feel free to stop by my office anytime to say hello
