MR. BRIAN PARSONS
Mr. Brian Parsons started his teaching career in 2001 at Ashland High School. He has taught almost every single science class offered at AHS, but is currently teaching AP Biology, Advanced Biology, Genetics, and Microbiology. He is the student council advisor, junior class co-advisor, and occasionally helps with the high school swim team now that he is retired from coaching. He is also an OHSAA swim official. Mr. Parsons is currently working on getting his Biology CCP certification from Akron University. This will allow AHS to offer life science classes for college credit that he will teach.
