🔨 Teacher Tuesday - Mark Munroe, Carpentry Teacher at Topsail High School! 🛠️🏫
Mr. Munroe may be new to the classroom (he's a beginning teacher), but he’s already bringing passion and purpose to his work at Topsail High. Inspired by the belief that “our future depends on us to pass on our skills,” he’s excited to teach carpentry—his favorite subject because it’s always fun and full of hands-on learning.
While he’s just getting started, he looks forward to the meaningful teaching moments ahead. Outside the classroom, you’ll find Mr. Munroe traveling (he’s got his eyes on Scotland) and trying new foods.
At home, his dog is the light of his day—a constant companion who keeps him smiling. 🐶❤️
His motto is simple but strong: “Do your best.” And that’s exactly what he brings to his students each day.
