Mr. Steven Henry may own an ice cream shop, but his love for his teaching is even sweeter. Henry started off high school in an all-boys school called Monsignor Bonner. Rather untraditionally, he began work as a union construction worker while going to night classes in Cabrini, which is a private Roman Catholic university in Randor Township. After graduating with a Business Administration degree, he continued to work as a construction worker, and later went back to Cabrini for a teaching degree. Soon after that, he was hired at Saint John Neumann.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I was going there to be a student teacher, but it turned out to be a full-time teaching position. I taught accounting for the first couple of years,\u201d Henry said.<\/p>\n
After teaching accounting for about three years, Henry moved on to being a social studies teacher at Saint John Neumann. After four more years, he was confronted with an enticing offer by an old friend.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the people I worked with years ago, I happened to bump into him when I was teaching at Saint John Neumanns. He offered that I put my name in the public system, so I came up here and put a resume in, and lo and behold, I was hired,\u201d Henry explained.<\/p>\n
Before interacting with his old colleague, he hardly even knew that North Penn existed. Much to Henry\u2019s surprise, he was hired in 2004. Since then, he\u2019s been teaching social studies for the past eighteen years. This totals in a whopping twenty-five years of teaching. But, why did Henry choose social studies?<\/p>\n
