Greetings Southland friends and family,

My name is Mr. Brian Cheesman and this is my fourth year in the Social Studies Department at Southland College Prep High School.  I received an undergradute degree in history from Lewis University where I was fortunate enough to study for a summer at John Cabot University in Rome, Italy.  I then received my graduate degree in education and began my career in teaching.

I bring a wide range of experience to the classroom having had a different career before becoming a teacher.  I was a financial consultant and registered stockbroker for 12 years.  In the summer of 2006 I decided to sell my successful financial consulting business and pursue my dream of traveling the world.  I spent the next eight years visiting some the most beautiful places in the world.  I enjoy sharing these experiences with students and building excitement about their education and where it can lead them.  

Please feel free to reach out to me at bcheesman@scphs.org with any questions or comments.  

Thank you,

Mr. Cheesman
