Welcome!- Derek A. Bias
Jr. High Math / Learning Support Math |
Welcome, and thank you for visiting!
Hi, I’m Derek Bias, and I’m excited to be starting my fifth year at St. Juliana Falconieri School. My family and I made the move from Los Angeles to Orange County four years ago, and we’ve truly loved making OC our home.
With over 25 years of teaching experience across public, charter, and private schools, I’ve had the privilege of teaching primarily in the areas of math and science—two subjects I’m passionate about. Of those years, 12 have been spent in Catholic education, which holds a special place in my heart. I have master’s degrees in education from both Pepperdine University and Mount St. Mary’s University.
In my 4 years at St. Juliana, I’ve had the opportunity to teach students from 5th through 8th grade, and I’ve loved witnessing their enthusiasm, curiosity, and growth in both science and math. This year, I’m especially excited to support students across all grade levels in mathematics, while also helping our 7th and 8th grade students transition confidently into high school-level math.
