Shawn Atkinson - 8th Grade Math
Teaching Experience: 2006 - present

I was born and raised in Hutchinson , Kansas . I attended Hutchinson High School where I participated in a wide variety of activities, including band, jazz band, basketball, and National Honors Society. I then went on to the University of Kansas where I received my Bachelor's of Science Education in Middle/Secondary Mathematics while graduating with honors.

I have been working with youth and teenagers for as long as I can remember. I spent four years volunteering through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, have coached several middle grades athletic teams, and have been involved in mentoring and tutoring programs through the University of Kansas. Spending the past five summers as a YMCA camp counselor has also provided me with the opportunity to positively influence children from a variety of age levels.

In my spare time, I enjoy watching and playing all sports, especially soccer and basketball, listening to music, and spending time with my family. I feel very lucky to be a part of such as wonderful faculty here at SRMS and am looking forward to a great year.
