Mr. Joey Marcoux -MATH

I have been an active member of the SAD 49 community since 1985. As a senior at Colby College , I was asked to be an assistant freshman football coach here at Lawrence. I grew to love the district and its people and decided to relocate to this area after being offered a teaching position in the junior high. I was originally asked to teach math, science and social studies. Eventually with the restructuring of teams, I have been assigned as a math teacher only....both grade seven and grade eight!

I live in the district with my three daughters, Lauren, Erica , and Paige who proudly attend Lawrence High School. The twins are in the class of 2009 and Paige is in the class of 2012. They are also active members of our school community. I have been a coach of high school baseball and football and am presently the 8th grade girls basketball coach as well as the varsity softball coach.
