Mr ShowellI attended the University of Arizona to become an astronomer. Due to a lack of funds, and poor study habits, I returned to Nebraska where I attended UNO and got my act together. I graduated in December of 1993 and have been teaching ever since. I have taught at two OPS middle schools, and ran a planetarium before my tenure at PLHS. I currently teach college level astronomy at UNO, write curriculum and teach 4th-10th graders at UNO’s Aim for the Stars summer camp. I am a member of the Space Foundations teacher liaison program and have Masters Degree in Space Science education from Regis University.
I love Science!!! I also am a music aficionado and enjoy sports and sporting events. I am married and have two children. |
