Chad MatthewsChad Matthews came into Philomath 14

years ago. From that he wanted to become a teacher at Philomath Middle School. However to achieve this he attended and graduated from OSU, Western Oregon State College, Western Oregon University, Seattle Pacific, Linn-Benton, and Portland State. Soon he became a teacher and has been for 17 years and is still going! Throughout these years he became close to his students and a lot of students like him! Justice Heern shared with me that “He’s the most extrodinary teacher alive. He teaches interesting and useful information to his students.” I, therefore, liked him as a teacher. He always put a smile on my face when I was struggling. His teachings always have humor in them but still meets on what he was teaching. He did put us in challenges like the World Test but that made us work harder and become a better student. He also gives out some of the most interesting quotes, something like “If you don’t pass this you’ll probably be living in a Van by the river under a bridge.” Mr. Matthews is one of my favorite teachers and always will be.
