About Me

I believe the purpose of education is to prepare students to become citizens who function and behave responsibly in, prosper from, and give back to society.

I view my roles as a teacher as providing a core education to prepare students for college, being a positive role model, and creating an environment for students that promotes learning, responsible behavior.

I value having fun and working hard and having a classroom that is relaxed and where everyone feels comfortable and welcome. 

I expect my students to push themselves and to do their best.  I believe that everyone is capable of learning if they are willing to try.  I will do everything I can to help.

I have been a member of the Green Hope High School faculty since 2002.  Prior to that, I spent 19 years working for Nortel Networks in various software development and management positions.  

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science with a concentration in Mathematics from Taylor University and my teaching certification in Mathematics through North Carolina State University.

I enjoy traveling, astronomy (link to Raleigh Astronomy Club), reading, movies, theatre, and TV.  I have done stand-up comedy at a number of local clubs, including Goodnight's in Raleigh, and have won two writing contests for "The Late Show with David Letterman."

"The Top Ten Ways to Start a Conversation with Mr. Wyatt:"

10.    "Who do you think will win the Amazing Race?"  (This question can also be used for American Idol, Big Brother, Survivor, and just about any other reality show except for The Bachelor.)

9.    "Why don't you like The Bachelor?"

8.    "Is it true you once applied for that Big Brother show?"

7.    "Which do you like better: myspace, facebook or twitter? "

6.    "What's your favorite TV show?" (Can also be used with favorite movie, author, or pizza toppings.)

5.    "What really happened to the electricity at the Hotel am Markt in St. Goar, Germany?"

4.    "Is it true you biked down a volcano in Hawaii?"

3.    "Is it true there were once a lizard and a snake in your room?"

2.    "Why can't I drink Coke in class?" (Oops.  That's how to get Mr. Wyatt angry.)

And the #1 way to start a conversation with Mr. Wyatt:

1.    "Can you please give me extra homework?"
