Hank Mast, Extended Day
Growing up in the Poquoson School District near Virginia Beach, Extended Day staff member Hank Mast had the good fortune to have several outstanding teachers. “I admired my fifth grade teacher so much that I was inspired to become an educator,” he remembers, adding, “I was going to be a fifth grade teacher, but then my sixth and seventh grade teachers were great, too. I had ten years of events that convinced me that education was the path for me.”
Mr. Mast attended Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, earning a Bachelors degree with a concentration in secondary education and a focus on history and social science. His studies included participating in a cross cultural program that involved his spending time in China, a trip he counts as his most extraordinary adventure to date. After spending his first year out of college in the business world, Mr. Mast says, “The fact that I am back in a school setting is very exciting.”
Always active in many sports, including soccer and basketball, Mr. Mast will assist in coaching softball, basketball, and soccer at Green Hedges. He and his brother, Jeff, and their father, Green Hedges Business Manager Tom Mast, spent part of the past summer in Wyoming hiking in the Grand Teton Mountains, where they spotted buffalo and bear.
