John Marfy brings 27 years of teaching experience to Crestwood High School in Mantua, Ohio, where he was originally hired to teach Audio/Video Production—a subject he continues to teach alongside computer science and social studies. A Kent State University graduate with a degree in Journalism and Telecommunications, John transitioned to social studies instruction 20 years ago. He currently teaches APUSH, Honors World History, and American History in Film, and has previously taught Ohio History and AP Government.
