Christian Morehouse has always been interested in the natural world. He grew up in northern Connecticut, where he went to Wesleyan University majoring in dance and environmental studies. He moved to Brooklyn in 2012 to work in the aquarium and pet industry. Christian soon realized what he loved most about the job was sharing his passion of learning and wonder with others so he decided to pursue science education in 2014. He earned a MA in science education from Teachers College, Columbia University and, in 2020, began to pursue his PhD.

Christian joined Poly in 2021 as a Middle School science teacher and in 2024, he became the Science Department Chair. He teaches courses such as Biology and Advanced Science Research in the Upper School. When not teaching, Christian loves spending time outdoors, including fishing and learning about amphibians and tropical plants.
