Mr. Paul Costa
Welcome to the new 2019-2020 school year.
This year I will be teaching 2 sections of 8th grade and 2 sections of 7th grade Social Studies. I enjoy working with students and helping them reach their potential and help him or her make a positive contribution to our world. I have been a teacher for 25 years.
I am married to a wonderful woman from the Philippines. When I am not involved in educational activities I like to travel a lot, hunt and fish, and collect Boa Constrictors. I do taxidermy on the side.
