Social studies and special education teacher Sean O’Neil decided to be a teacher because his entire family are teachers, and they love their work. He started teaching in 1995 at Lamont Elementary with Prince Georges County Public Schools in Maryland and joined the Santa Fe High faculty in 2009.

Originally from Bowie, Md., Mr. O’Neil earned his bachelor’s degree from University of Maryland and his master’s from Frostburg State University.

When not teaching, he loves to play guitar.

Mr. O’Neil believes that teaching is fun and he is endlessly amused by the students at Santa Fe High School.
