Griffin Antle

My name is Griffin Antle and I am the 8th Grade ELA teacher at Rowe! I have spent the last four years teaching ELA in Chicago schools: one year of 9th grade, one year of 11th grade, and now my 3rd year of 8th grade here at RMS. I am originally from New Hampshire and love to visit home during the beautiful fall foliage. I now live in Chicago with my wife, Kirsten. I competed as a Division 1 NCAA gymnast for The College of William & Mary, my favorite book is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and I enjoy cooking new recipes.

Number of years at Rowe: 3

What I like best about teaching at Rowe: "I believe that a classroom is a space to take safe, productive risks. My favorite part of teaching is when students try their best, make a mistake, and try their best again: healthy struggle is what learning is all about!"
