About

Marco Balic is a Latin teacher and tutor at St. Edward High School and the founder and moderator of the Eagles in SPACE! student club. A graduate of Denison University, Balic holds a Bachelor of Science degree and is an alumnus of St. Edward, bringing a deep personal connection to his work at the school.

Balic is passionate about sharing the sense of belonging he experienced as a student and enjoys working alongside the teachers who once mentored him. Outside of school, he enjoys astronomy and sharing telescope views with his family, composing music electronically on the piano, and studying physics and mathematics. He is especially proud of a year in which he observed seven planets, experienced both total solar and lunar eclipses, witnessed the northern lights multiple times, and explored half of Messier’s catalog of deep-sky objects.
