Meet Mr. Battaile

Hey there folks!  I am your Social Studies teacher this year and we are learning about U.S. History.   I am excited to work with all of you and see how the new course goes.  Away from school I like to adventure outside mountain biking, whitewater kayaking and back country skiing.  And I like to cook.

Meet Ms. Ferro
