Carsen Moon is a mathematics teacher and Cross Country coach at Classen SAS High School at Northeast. He graduated from Classen SAS with his IB Diploma in 2011 before attending Oklahoma City University to study Economics and Math. After graduating college, he worked as a financial analyst before pursuing a calling to become an educator. Over the last six years, he has focused on building compassionate and trusting relationships with students in order to remove the fear and stigma of advanced mathematics. As a result, his rigorous AP Calculus and Precalculus classes have more than doubled in size, and continue to grow.Â
In 2019, he took over the Classen Cross Country program. As a long distance runner, he believe Cross Country perfectly encapsulates what is means to be a healthy and happy human being and he instills in his athletes valuable character traits that apply to all things in life, not just running. Carsen led both the boys and girls teams to back-to-back ACAC championship sweeps in 2021 and 2022. For the first time in school history, the boys team qualified for State Championship in 2021, and again in 2022. For his efforts in building the Cross Country program, he was awarded the Region 8 Coach of the Year award in 2021. In his free time, Carsen enjoys training for marathons, gardening, caring for his chickens and two dogs, Wiley and Bodi, and shooting film on historic cameras. He and his wife Alice are expecting their first child in September of 2023.
