Mr. Ben Chisman

My name is Ben Chisman.  I am very excited to be teaching Middle School Mathematics at St. John Paul II.  I have eleven years of teaching experience--the first four were as a high school math and physics teacher and for the last seven years I've taught math, here at St. John Paul II.  This is also my second year serving as the Dean of Students for Middle School.  I look forward to helping to enhance the student experience at JPII through consistency and communication. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics from the University of Mississippi and earned my Masters of Education from the University of Louisville.   

I have been married to Laura for 20 years and we have two children. Tara (JPII alum)  is entering her freshman year at Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN and will be majoring in nursing. Wyatt (JPII alum) will be starting 10th grade at Charlestown High School.  We are members of St. John Paul II Parish.  When I'm not teaching, I love to run, bike and swim. 

As we continue to build and grow our middle school, we take on the responsibility of preparing your children to be ready for the rigors of high school.  I look forward to helping students grow in both academics and character, so they will become confident and successful young adults and beyond.
