John Basler
Math SL II, Math Studies II, and Product Team Teacher
I just moved to Michigan from West Virginia in 2012 to be with my wife, a research scientist at the University of Michigan. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching from Eastern Michigan University, a Master of Science in Mathematics from West Virginia University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Grinnell College. Besides doing and teaching math, I enjoy writing and performing music, making art, cooking, playing nerdy board games, and using the Oxford comma. I'm very excited to work with the talented, motivated, and inquisitive students who attend WIHI, and am equally excited to work alongside a faculty who are dedicated, energetic, and brilliant.
