Welcoming new staff: Paul Yoon

Annika Emadi, Reporter • October 15, 2025

Paul Yoon is a new teacher at Claremont High School (CHS) and is returning to the campus for the first time in over twenty years as an alumnus. Yoon is currently teaching ninth-grade biology classes as well as physical science. Yoon has always had a passion for the sciences and has pursued his degrees in the field. He received his undergraduate degree from UCL

A in Integrative Biology and Physiology and his master’s degree in education from Azusa Pacific University.

Before coming to teach at CHS, Yoon had been teaching for six years, but he immediately jumped at the opportunity when he saw an opening at Claremont. He was eager to revisit his old high school and see how the school has changed, and to experience the new generation of CHS students. “It’s been fun,” Yoon said. “I’ve enjoyed the students. I feel that every day I’m getting to know more about the students and connecting with them.”

Kira Sweeney, one of Yoon’s ninth-grade students, shares a positive outlook on Yoon’s classroom environment. “He makes sure that you understand everything that he’s teaching,” Sweeney said. “And I really appreciate that.”

Although Yoon has not been a teacher at CHS for long, he is already making a lasting impact on his students and the school as a whole. Yoon is looking forward to attending many more school events this year and rejoining the Claremont Wolfpack family after all of these years.

About the Contributor

Annika Emadi, Reporter

Annika Emadi (stuffed animal collector and master chef) is a freshman at Claremont High School and is excited for her first year on the Wolfpacket as a Reporter. English assignments, the Wolfpacket, the Cookie Jar Club at CHS, and writing at home have all helped Emadi form a passion for literature. She writes fiction stories in her free time and adores realistic fiction and rom-com novels. Emadi also has a passion for food and has fond memories of learning to cook with her mother. After school, Emadi finds joy in her recreational volleyball league and volleyball clinics. Though she has little time, she always finds a moment for her pets. Her two dogs and her cat have given her a strong love for animals. In fact, she collects stuffed animals, and she is particularly proud of her giant teddy bear. Emadi is ready to join the Wolfpacket staff this year and share her stories!
