Mark Hertz
English/ReadingIntroduction: Hello and welcome to my
webpage! My name is Mark Hertz and this is my ninth year teaching at
Lemon Bay High School. I have been in the education profession for 20 years teaching many subjects at different levels. I am primarily an
English teacher, holding a Master's Degree in English with an emphasis Teaching
Writing. Before Lemon Bay, I taught at L.A. Ainger Middle School here in
Englewood, eight years at Six Rivers Charter High School in Arcata, a small
rural town on the north coast of California, Freshmen Composition at Humboldt
State University, and Humanities at Academy of the Redwoods in Eureka, CA. I
have also been an adjunct professor at Florida SouthWestern State College,
teaching ENC 1101 and 1102.
I love the
outdoors and sports. My favorite football team is the Las Vegas Raiders
and my favorite baseball team is the Los Angeles Dodgers. I am the coach
of the Lemon Bay High School Boys Varsity Soccer Team and coach the U13 Englewood Chaos competitive soccer team. I am a father of two amazing
boys, and my wife and I love living in southwest Florida! I look forward
to a successful and rewarding year!
Webpage: I
have designed my web page to provide parents and students with the information
needed to be successful in class. In the unfortunate event your child is
sick or must say home, I want to make sure they will have access to the lesson
plans and assignments. Lesson plans will always be posted to this web
page, and assignments are available on Canvas, the District's Learning
Management System. You can access Canvas
through your student's CCPS Classlink account.
Remind
Codes: I will use the remind app to notify students
and parents of important due dates, assignments, tests, and other events.
Remind codes should be populated automatically.
However, here are the codes for each class (by period):
[TO BE ADDED ONCE CLASSES POPULATE]
Lesson
Plans: Lesson plans will be uploaded to this site on
a weekly basis so students and parents will have outline of assignments
completed each day in class. I will also post weekly lesson plans on the board
in my classroom. Students can easily
take a picture of them every Monday as another reference/reminder.
