Welcome students and parents to my classroom website!

 

My name is Wesley Nakashima, and this is my 12th year as a high school math teacher at Bishop Montgomery High school.  I feel very blessed to have a job that I love.  I truly enjoy helping my students to grow in their knowledge, understanding, confidence, and enjoyment of mathematics and its many real world applications.

I was born and raised in the South Bay and am a graduate from Torrance High School.  I have a Bachelor's degree in Managerial Finance from University of Nevada Las Vegas.  Upon graduation, I moved back California and began my teaching career at Orville Wright Magnet School in Westchester.  In 2008 I lost my job due to LAUSD budget cuts and God's plan gave me the a wonderful opportunity to teach at Bishop Montgomery.  It is at Bishop where I  have found teaching to be both a challenging and rewarding vocation.  Being a teacher also gives me the wonderful opportunity to be a role model and have a positive impact on the lives of my students.  My hope is that all students leave my class with a better understanding and appreciation of mathematics and its role in their lives.
