Gerard Martin is one of two art instructors at York School.  Sharing the art process with his students is a great inspiration in his life.  Gerard teaches part time which allows him to pursue his other passion, fine art painting.

Gerard is currently teaching Foundation Art, 3-D Art, Digital Imaging, and AP Design.  He is also the head coach of the boy's Lacrosse Team at York.  Gerard loves teaching at York because of its small size, friendly atmosphere and the great faculty and students that the school attracts.  The campus is bound by an emphasis on trust, honesty and mutual respect.  It is a special place and a great work environment.

Gerard was born and raised on the Monterey Peninsula.  One of his two children is currently attending York.  (Brendan, '14)  This is Gerard's 12th year as a high school teacher, a job he truly loves.
