Who is Mr. Hoarty?

Greetings and salutations!  My name is John Hoarty, and I teach in the Social Science and English/Language Arts departments at Bishop Mora Salesian High School.  I moved to Los Angeles in 2006 for graduate school and began teaching at Salesian in the fall of that year.  Having just earned a Master's in Secondary Education and Preliminary California teaching credential at Loyola Marymount University, I am now enrolled in a program at LMU to further my knowledge as an educator and earn my permanent California teaching credential.

I am committed to providing the best education possible for my students.  For more information on my educational philosophy, visit my e-portfolio at the following URL:   http://johnfhoarty.googlepages.com/home.

I was born in Omaha, Nebraska and moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to pursue my undergraduate degree in history at Marquette University.  After completing my bachelor's degree I joined the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, a post-graduate program that places volunteers in social services organizations.  I served in a transitional housing program for women and children as well as a food recovery program.  After my time in JVC, I realized that I wanted to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher and came out West to do so.

Thanks for reading.  Enjoy the site and contact me if you have any questions!
