  Mr. Chad Finch

I was born and raised in Glennallen, Alaska.

I graduated from Glennallen High School.

Went to college in Texas to study Mechanical Engineering.

While I enjoyed engineering, I felt the calling to become a teacher.

I obtained my degree in Mathematics Education after transferring to Minnesota State University Moorhead.

I returned to Alaska and got hired at CTHS to teach mathematics and now engineering.
