Scott Tumperi

Being new to Christ School does not mean that Scott Tumperi comes to us as a novice with independent school education.  

On the contrary, Mr. Tumperi’s first year as part of the Math Department will be his 26th at a high school that offers boarding. In the past, he has taught Chemistry, Engineering, and Physics. 

Scott earned his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and his master’s in Aerospace Engineering, Math Education, and Data Science, all from the University of Virginia. While at UVa, he found his calling as a teacher while acting as a tutor and academic counselor for the athletic department. Naturally, Scott has tried to attend as many UVa football and basketball games as he can in the past.  

Mr. Tumperi spent a portion of his childhood in Hendersonville, N.C., so he knows the area from past experience. His hobbies include photography and watching college football. He is a Silver Life Master in the American Contract Bridge League.
