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.
