Mr. Eaton attended Millersville University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania for his bachelor's degree in Secondary Science Education. He majored in Earth Science while also completing a Geology Minor. Mr. Eaton has worked with students from grades 7-12 for five years in York, Pennsylvania. Not only did he work with students in science classes, but he also coached boys' and girls' volleyball for five years. Mr. Eaton is one of the science teachers here at AMSPA for 5th, 6th, and 7th grades. One after school program he advises is Science Olympiad, a science competition team that will compete at regionals and hopefully states. 
 
Mr. Eaton grew up in York, Pennsylvania and decided moved out west to begin a new journey to expand his view on education. He is an avid volleyball, tennis, and table tennis player. He enjoys going on hikes and kayaking. His house was like a zoo. He owns three snakes while his family has dogs and cats as well. His family also rehabilitates injured wild birds of prey like eagles, hawks, owls, falcons, kestrels, and more!
