Mr Mekemson has been teaching science at CCMS since 2017. With a background in marine biology, he spent several years working as a research scuba diver before becoming a teacher in 1994. He has had the pleasure of teaching all grades from 6th to 12th in 5 different school districts in Southern California in subjects ranging from anatomy, chemistry, honors biology, and IB biology. His love of the ocean has manifested itself in his somewhat concerning passion for all things SpongeBob and Sharknado related. His wife, Heather, also works at CCMS making them the obvious choice for cutest couple in the yearbook. His 2 grown children are still recovering from being students in his middle school science class and his granddaughter can’t wait for her turn.
