Kevin Lawlor
B.A., Dickinson College

In 1998, Kevin Lawlor was attracted to Brewster's teacher training program and the school's commitment to developing a highly trained and dedicated faculty. And, on a personal note, he was drawn to the area because of its beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities.

He is the team leader on the junior Team Lawlor where he teaches math.

"I seek to challenge students with subject matter and use this challenge as a way to incorporate skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. While I hold knowledge of mathematics in high regard and feel that when students begin to understand and apply math concepts they gain a greater understanding of the world around them, my hope is to mold students character by using math as a conduit."

Previously, Mr. Lawlor taught Integrated Math 2 and World History at Winchendon School. He also was director of ESF Sports Camp in Greenwich, Connecticut, for four years.

He is also the assistant director of Brewster's Summer Session and the director of adventure education and community life for the Summer Session program.

This is Mr. Lawlor's fourth season as cross-country running coach at Brewster. In his four years, Mr. Lawlor has coached the boys' team to two 1st place championships (2001 and 2002) and the girls' team to one 1st place championship (2003) in the Lakes Region League. That same girls' team finished in 5th place at the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council Championships. He is an avid runner and competitor. He qualified for the Boston Marathon after running the Vermont City Marathon in three hours, 10 minutes and competes regularly in local races and running clubs. He is a high school track record holder in the long jump and played varsity college football and was named a Massachusetts Shrine All-Star in football.

In addition to cross-country running, Mr. Lawlor has coached football, basketball, baseball, and alpine skiing, and he enjoys mountain biking and being in the outdoors.

Mr. Lawlor lives off campus with his wife and daughter.
