Mr. Casell

 I work on the ALPHA team with Mrs. Kruc and Mrs. Jones-Staricka.  I am responsible for math, written expression and social skills.

I share room 422 with Mrs. Jones-Staricka as well as use room 107.

A little about me:  I was born and raised in Western New York.  I studied building trades while in high school.  My plan was to be a carpenter.  During the summer of my junior year I was asked to help at a camp for adults with disabilities.  I had such a good time that I changed my career goal.  My under graduate study was at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI where I ran track and was the captain my senior year.  I attended the University of Minnesota for my graduate degree.  I was hired by MPS before I finished my degree and have worked here all but four years of my teaching career.  I taught for two years in Ithaca, NY and I took a two-year leave to paint houses full time.

I am married and have two boys at home who keep me busy.  My wife is also a teacher at Southwest High School.
