Biography

Mr. Keener has taught Mathematics at Ivy HIgh School since 2011. He appreciates the smaller class sizes and the staff's focus on the students, as well as being able to work with motivated students towards graduation and their post-secondary goals.  Prior to coming to Ivy High School, Mr. Keener graduated with a B.A. in Philosophy from Cal State Long Beach and taught 8th grade Algebra for five years. His philosophy on Mathematics is that it is, as Galileo said, a language which can be used to describe and understand the universe. While much different than other languages and sometimes difficult to learn, it is an invaluable tool for students to understand and navigate the world.
