Mr. Vincent Sommese is the newest member of the Becton Wildcat family! Although he is a new face at Becton Regional, he is definitely a seasoned and experienced teacher. With 16 years of experience under his belt, Sommese is overjoyed to embark on his 17th year of teaching.
Sommese decided he wanted to educate and shape young minds his freshman year of high school. He revealed that he was inspired by his own former English teacher who made class very enjoyable. According to one of his students – Kailey Mount, he is following suit and keeps his classes compelling. Mount announced, “We are never bored! We’re constantly changing topics which keeps the lessons interesting!”
A fellow teacher of the English Department who works closely wth Sommese, Daniella Polmann, described Sommese as helpful, positive, and dedicated. She remarked, “He fits right in. His teaching experience is very helpful to newer teachers like myself. He is social and good at his craft which makes it easy to ask him for advice on teaching and outer life.”
It is obvious that most would describe Sommese as an approachable and kind teacher, yet his impression of Becton is just as wonderful. He believes Becton has a very warm and welcoming family dynamic.
Before entering the ever so wonderful worlds of language arts and education, Sommese was ironically more engaged in math and science. Moreover, besides being a special education certified English teacher, Sommese exposed that he would be interested in joining the coaching staff for cross country and spring track. He used to coach at a previous school he worked at, and would even be open to volunteering! His passion for the sports is evident as Sommese professed his love of running. Additionally, Sommese declared that he spends his free time watching Anime and spending time with his three sons.
The College of New Jersey alumni concludes by stating, “There is always more to learn about the teaching profession, so I plan to use my prior experience as I start at Becton and adjust to meet the needs and expectations of the students here.”
Ultimately, Sommese is off to a great start at Becton Regional High School!
