Shawn Strand

Shawn Strand, known as Mr. Strand to students, runs the Eye on IPoly elective, Stagecraft, and Advanced Filmmaking. He was originally an instructor to IPoly's freshman, and later also an adviser to IPoly's Yearbook team. During the first semester of the 2018-19, he ran an additional Film Creation elective. For the second semester of the same year, he switched to teaching only the Eye on IPoly elective because Cameron Lanier had left months earlier. During Infotainment, Strand was the executive of Global Pandemics house. He is well known for being passionate about geography and almost idolizes Jared Diamond.
