Info
I left HSHS never having read a book fully- read my first book on a Greyhound from Philly to Springfield, MO where I attended college at Missouri State University with 3 other HSHS classmates. I currently teach literature and coach at Springfield Catholic HS and this past year I was awarded Diocesan Teacher of the Year. While attending HSHS, I was cut from every school sport- I have been named Regional Coach of the Year on 5 occasions and have won 2 state XC titles- - the Lord took his time crafting this Italian Catholic from Ducktown. My wife of 26 years and I own a restaurant, my 7th, St Michael’s ( named after the Mississippi Ave grade school I attended). With HSHS so deep in my rear view mirror, my wish would be to thank those who took a genuine interest in me while I was a member of that first graduation class at the Absecon location and to share with the faculty how correct they were with the life lessons shared; but I had to gather my experiences to gain that vision- Despite my geographic move, I remain Georgia Ave, St Michael’s and HSHS!
