About Me

My name is Geoffrey Quiring. I was born in the valley and have spent nearly my entire life here with the last 20 years living in the Clovis North area.

Education

Graduated from the Computech/Edison program in Fresno Unified and got my biology degree from the University of California, Davis.

Teaching Experience

Started my teaching experience with two summer school sessions of Chemistry at Buchanan and Clovis High.

Taught 6 years of Biology and AP Biology at Fowler High School.

Taught 6 years of Biology, Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, and Anatomy/Physiology at Sunnyside High School in Fresno Unified.

Now I have taught 9 years at Clovis North teaching Biology, AP Biology, Chemistry, and AP Chemistry

Coached Science Olympiad for 19 of my 21 years in education at Fowler High, Sunnyside High, and Clovis North.

Coached Academic Decathlon for two years in Fowler.

Computer Science Experience

My love for programming and computer science started when I was young. I took programming courses in Basic, Pascal, and Fortran all through High School. I then worked for two years as a programmer for the City of Fresno Water Division designing programs for the water hydrant billing and chlorine tracking systems. Although my life path took me more toward science in teaching I have never shied away from adding some of my programming experience into my classroom and into Science Olympiad which has widely expanded on that front. I now have a CTE credential in the System and Software Design pathway focus.

Personal Statement

I have been in teaching for 21 years now and I have had an amazing career that has taught me so much about students, administration and teams. My passion for teaching has never wavered and my love of computer science has been reignited. I hope to prove this to every student that enters my classroom. With any luck, I will be a Bronco until I retire.
