A New Fish in our Sea-Mr. Jordan Taylor
Dymond Walter, Staff Writer
As many of you may know, we have hired a new Science teacher here in the high school. Mr. Jordan Taylor, who will also be our JV lacrosse coach, joined the Wallkill staff in September. Mr. Taylor, who teaches Earth Science, is a local of the Hudson Valley; he grew up in Kingston and graduated from Kingston High School. From there, he attended SUNY New Paltz for his undergraduate and graduate degrees.
One reason why Science is a good fit for Mr. Taylor is that he loves the outdoors and traveling. His favorite place he has gone is the Grand Escalescalante National Monument, which is located in Utah and is absolutely stunning. (He recommends you look it up!). Also, four years ago, he drove cross county with his brother, which he hopes to do again.
"Science is everywhere. Understanding scientific principles is important. I have always been interested in Science, always asked questions. I always want to learn. My goal as the new Science teacher is that I want to share my enthusiasm for Science and learning with others every day," Mr. Taylor has stated.
A few more interesting facts you may not know are that he has hiked the Grand Canyon twice, likes to read books, run and not to be on his phone. His favorite snack is fresh kale, and before coming to Wallkill, Mr. Taylor was a construction worker and sold Christmas trees at Adams Fairacre Farms in Kingston.
