Who Is John R. Beatty?

John R. Beatty was born April 13, 1926 in Milton, Pennsylvania.  Following his secondary education he served in the United States Army from 1944-1946 and was separated from the armed services at the close of World War II.  He returned to his home state to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in education.  His formal post-secondary training earned him a teaching degree from Indiana University in 1950.

From 1950-1953 John taught English at Kittanning High School in Pennsylvania; however, he was soon to move to Henderson, Nevada to begin a distinguished career of teaching that spanned more than 27 years.

While working at Basic High School, John R. Beatty continued his education and earned graduate credits from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Northern Arizona University.  These courses provided John with the skill and training needed to serve as the language arts coordinator for Basic High School for many years.  He taught English, speech, and drama, and in every class his students were "expected to excel."  John R. Beatty demanded the best from his students, and with a kind and gentle approach to learning, he earned respect from his students, his colleagues, and all who knew him. 

One of John's students recalls, "He was one of the best teachers I ever had from grade school to graduate school, and he was my role model for my teaching today."  Others have noted that he served as an inspiration to students in a sincere and unobtrusive manner.

Showing a sense of humor, John R. Beatty was a man for his time.  He shared his love for learning with those who studied with him.  He shared his dreams by making each student he knew believe in himself.

On May 11, 1980, John R. Beatty completed his life and left a legacy that others will try to equal.  He was a sincere man who, as an individual, made a difference in the lives of students at Basic High School.  His work is now honored with the dedication of this school.

Our tribute to John R. Beatty was originally printed for the Dedication and Open House of our school. March 1, 1989.
