The Faculty Of Western Academy

Timothy Keenley, Teacher

Tim was tangentially involved in establishing Western even before the school opened in 2010. During the early years, he helped on school events and fund-raising, started the school band and taught music, math and other classes. Along with Mr. John Rocha, Tim founded the WA Old Boys and is the champion for our now hundreds of graduates. 

He continues as Western’s biggest fan, working in communications, development and mentoring many middle school boys, and fondly regarded as the “Mayor” of Western Academy.

Tim grew up in Chicago and attended college in Indiana. He then spent many years working in Lagos, Nigeria, as he admits, “learning from many great Nigerians.” He has an MEd from the U. of Lagos, and an MBA (Finance) from Johns Hopkins U. He is an American patriot.
