Mr. Matt Jakstis
This will be my fifth year working at Redlands High as an English teacher and I'm excited to continue to be a part of the Terrier family. I teach English 9 and AP Literature and Composition and I also am an assistant coach for our speech and debate team.
I grew up in Corona, California, attended UCR and obtained my B.S. in Business Administration. I worked in the business field for a few years until I decided to follow my passions and move toward a career in education. I earned my single subject teaching credential in English Language Arts from CSUSB and my M.A.Ed. in Teaching in Learning from Brandman University.
Office Hours - During In-Person Learning:
I always try to make myself available to assist any students who are struggling or are looking to get ahead. I make myself available for office hours typically every lunch period and I can also set-up time before or after school by appointment (with the exception of Tuesday before school and Wednesday after school).
Office Hours - During Online Learning
I will have Zoom meetings between 2:00-3:00 after school.
