Irvin has a couple of years experience working in industry, both at Kaiser Aluminum in Chalmette and Avondak Shipyards as an Industrial Chemist.
While working at Avondak, Irvin invented a chemical treatment that kept his company from polluting the Mississippi River. The EPA and our communities are forever grateful for his contributions!
Initially pursuing a path as a chemist, he never thought he would be a teacher. However, one fateful year working as a substitute changed that. He loves inspiring young minds to be curious and work hard. He wants them to learn how to educate themselves and train their minds to be the best they can be.
We are a school that is dedicated to students who have dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. We believe that ALL students can learn. It’s a matter of how the instruction is given and the support that is available to push students to their potential.
