Mr. MatthewsMr. Matthews went to OSU, Western

Oregon, Linn-Benton Community College, and Portland State. He has been teaching for 17 years and has been teaching at Philomath for 14 years. My favorite quote from him is, “If you don’t do your homework you’ll probably end up living in a van under the river.” He is the kind of teacher who can put a smile on anyones face because of his extraordinary sense of humor. Mr. Matthews is great at getting students to remember things and being fair. Justice Heern says, “He is the most extraordinary teacher alive!” He is deffinetly my favorite teacher from middle school.
