Byron Martin
Master's in Education, St. Lawrence University
B.A., Psychology, St. Lawrence University

Byron Martin is the team leader for Team Martin, one of the sophomore teaching teams, and an instructional support teacher.

Mr. Martin brings a wealth of experience to the post, having been a member of the Brewster community since 1993. His roles have included dean of community life, a position he held for two years. Before becoming a dean, he was a team leader from 1995-97 and an instructional support teacher from 1993-97. He came to Brewster fresh from completing his master's in education in 1993 from St. Lawrence University. He earned his bachelor's in psychology from St. Lawrence and was certified as a history teacher.

He enjoyed being a team leader previously and welcomed the opportunity to return to it. "I really like the team approach and enjoy facilitating," he says. He paraphrases former headmaster David M. Smith when describing his position: "The team leader is like a mini-headmaster within the school."

There is more Mr. Martin would like to do. He would relish the opportunity to return to coaching. He coached tennis for his first six years here and did stints coaching soccer, golf, and basketball. But demands on his time continue to mount.

Mr. Martin and his wife Margaret, the associate director of admission, live in Vaughan House with their son Christopher and daughter Katherine.
