About Mr. Hinton


I have been teaching for six years all in the Clark County School District. Before teaching I served in the  United States Marine Corps for four years receiving an honorable discharge in 1994. I am married and have three wonderful daughters.      

Why I love teaching

I love teaching because I love working with young people, our youth are our most important investment and nothing gives me more pride and sense of accomplishment than seeing my students be successful and achieve things they never thought possible. I can not imagine doing anything else.
