Mr. Stephenson has bean teaching for 25 year and all of those 25 years have been at Philomath Middle School. To achieve this he had to go to college. He attended Oregon State University, The University of Oregon, Southern Oregon State, and Rouge Community College. He was also a coach.

Whenever I am in class or around him he always says things like “Benson quit talking.” or he asks me how my teams are doing in sports and how I am in general. Taylor Brouwer says “Hes the most amazing funniest person I’ve ever meet.

Mr. Stephenson is my favorite teacher because he is fun to be around and always makes you laugh. He points out the important things and makes being in class fun. He is a great teacher and a coach. Mr. Stephenson shows he cares about his students and how much they are achieving in school. I will miss having him as one of my teachers and I will always remember the things he taught me.
