Mr. Fry: One of Many New Faces at Newman Catholic

By Makayla Heisler

Newman Catholic High School has a new teacher this year.

Jason Fry, 26, is the new English teacher at NCHS who was hired just a week before school started.

This is Mr. Fry’s second full time teaching job. He teaches English I, II, and Publications. Although he is a younger teacher, he feels very welcomed by the other teachers, staff, and students here at the High School.

Mr. Fry feels he can count on anyone here at NCHS to help him out when needed and to show him the ropes. He feels very comfortable in the catholic environment the school has to offer. This help was needed, especially since it was so busy for him the week before school.

Mr. Fry has been teaching for two years in the catholic school system. Before Newman, he taught at a middle school. He feels that both schools have a very similar atmosphere but the students and material are at different levels.

When he isn’t teaching school, Mr. Fry likes to travel. He goes anywhere from visiting his family in Richland Center to going on longer vacations.  During the summer vacation or other longer vacations he likes to visit other countries.

Mr. Fry is a soccer enthusiast. He loves the game and he played it all throughout high school and at his college, Viterbo University, where he earned a degree in English Education. He also coaches the Newman Catholic Middle School soccer team.

In his free time Mr. Fry likes to collect world soccer jerseys. He also likes to walk his hound-beagle-pug mix, Dempsey. Dempsey is named after Clint Dempsey the soccer player. He got her soon after the United States played England in the World Cup.
