Check Out Who Has Been Working Here the Longest!

By Emma Kendall

Most of you know Industrial Technology teacher Mr. Sweeney. If you don’t you will soon. Did you know he has been working at Great Brook longer than any other teacher? I recently sat down with Mr. Sweeney and asked him a few questions. It was fun getting to know him better because IT is one of my favorite classes.

Mr. Sweeney went to RI College and Antioch University. He has been a teacher for 33 years as and industrial technology teacher. What he likes best about working at GBS is the kids, the other teachers and the nearby community.

I asked him what he would like to do for a career if he was not a teacher and he said he would be a metallurgist. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but I know now it is the science of metal working.

I asked him if he could pick two people to past or present to have dinner with who it would be. He said “he would like to have dinner with his father and grandfather because he never had a chance to have and adult conversation with them”.

I also learned that his favorite color is burgundy. Mr. Sweeney is a really nice teacher with a good sense of humor.
