Eastside Christian School, a K-10th school that launched a high school this year, has announced their first full-time hire as they execute their plans to add a grade each year through 12th grade. Dr. John Cody will be joining the ECS team as the research and internship coordinator and science teacher.
Dr. Cody is coming from Wheeler High School, where he spent the last 17 years as a teacher in the Magnet Program. Dr. Cody brings experience in writing curriculum and has taught Magnet Chemistry, AP Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Advanced Scientific Research (part of the Wheeler Magnet internship and research program). Dr. Cody earned his PhD in Chemistry at Georgia Tech in 2006.
Eastside Christian’s Head of School, Dr. Tiffany Stark, worked with Dr. Cody for over 10 years during their time together at Wheeler. “I am thrilled that Dr. Cody is going to be joining the Eastside team as we continue to build our high school. He brings a level of excellence to the classroom and delivers challenging content while helping students learn to think and apply at a high level. Dr. Cody is loved by his students and colleagues, and he will be a great addition at Eastside,” said Dr. Stark.
“The idea of being part of a team that is building something from the ground up excites me and, as a matter of fact, was a major contributing factor in this move,” said Dr. Cody. “My time at Wheeler was spent teaching some of the brightest minds in the district, and I always tried to set the achievement bar high for those students. I love the idea of coming alongside an already great team of educators to work toward offering their students excellent educational opportunities as well.”
Dr. Cody will be teaching Honors Chemistry and Honors Biology in the 2024-25 school year, while preparing to launch the internship program at Eastside in the fall of 2025.
