Hi. My name is Mark Despain. I have been teaching one of the combination classrooms that include  5th and 6th graders, since January of 2000.

I am very involved in the outdoors and believe in a balance between body and mind. This comes out in my classroom philosophy and with some of the amazing field trips we go on and the clubs that I sponsor.

I love teaching at FJA, the families and the students are amazing, and the teachers are some of the best people I have ever worked with.

Please come into my classroom at any time to watch and participate in all the daily activities that we partake in.
