About Jan Merritt

Instructor, Math Specialist

UF Lastinger Center Affiliate Faculty

I am a UF College of Education graduate and have taught for 24 years in Alachua County. I have been a Math Olympiad Team sponsor for 9 years, and a robotics sponsor for 4 years. I was Teacher of the Year at Stephen Foster Elementary in the 1994-1995 school year and at J. J. Finley (Now C.B. Parker Elem.) in 2011-2012. I love music, animals, languages, Harry Potter, the outdoors… and, of course, teaching!
