Nick Gannon moved from Massachusetts to Maine and joined the Lisbon High School staff as a math teacher for this year. Mr. Gannon teachers Algebra I and II, along with Geometry and is also the advisor of the school’s Ultimate Frisbee Club.

Mr. Gannon received a bachelor’s in Psychology from Brandeis University. He shares after college he worked “at corporate law firms as a paralegal specializing in Constitution Litigation, Labor and Employment, and Regulatory Law.” In 2006, he went back to complete his math course work and started on his master’s degree.

Becoming a math teacher “was a natural career change,” Mr. Gannon said. “I’ve always loved math and explored math on my own after college.” He spent one year teaching in Massachusetts at Revere High School before he moved to Brunswick. He moved to Brunswick because he “spent a lot of time in Maine and liked the area.” Mr. Gannon has enjoyed the transition from Revere High School’s 1600 students to Lisbon’s 450 students. He likes how in the smaller school he can get to know more of the students and also said it’s “nice to be know” before people even meet you.
