About Mr. Roberts:
My name is Callan Roberts. I am originally from Toledo, but have been living in Cincinnati for the past six years, while attending school at UC. I received my BA in Middle School Education in 2010 and I’m very excited about beginning the 2011-2012 IHM school year. Along with teaching, I am an assistant swim coach for the Anderson Barracudas.
What inspired me to become a teacher was my American History professor during my 1st year of college. The passion and inspiration he brought to the class made me think seriously about a career in teaching. I hope that I can bring this same desire to all of my students at IHM.
Please feel free to email me with any questions/concerns you may have.
