Evan Cohan, Class of 1983
UPDATE:
-
After graduating from Saugus in 1983 I immediately enrolled at UCLA, and graduated
with bachelor's and master's degrees in biology. I worked for a government contractor
while attending college in the area of engineering software management while financing
my education. I specialized my studies in molecular biology and yearned for a career
in medicine as a pharmacist. Unable to gain acceptance to a pharmacy program after
6 years of trying, I set my sights in doing research work and began employment in
1991 as biochemist for a medical reference lab. Still not satisified, and unimpressed
with largely undeserving overinflated salaries, I decided to return to school and train
as a high school teacher. I received my teaching credentials in 1995 from California
State University Northridge and began working as a biology teacher for the Los
Angeles Unified School District at Granada Hills High School. I have been a biology
teacher now for ten years and I am currently working at John F. Kennedy High School
in Granada Hills, California. My school's website address is

I have also completed a supplemental teaching credential in geosciences at UCLA, in
order to teach physical as well as life sciences.
II have no children but I am happily married and living in Simi Valley, California.
