Jeremy Beck’s educational career stretches over the past 20 years in both public and Catholic schools. As a new college graduate, Mr. Beck stepped into the classroom as a teacher, but after a few years was quickly called into a leadership role as a high school activity director, grade school and high school building principal, and for the past 8 years, president of the Catholic schools in Missoula, Montana.

Now with FACTS Education Solutions, Mr. Beck manages the operational elements of the federal programs division of the company. Mr. Beck’s value-centered beliefs are focused around his family, his faith, and his passionate pursuit of academic growth in all children.
