My name is Kevin Militello and this will be my seventh year teaching here at Douglas Middle School. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and a Master's in Secondary Education. I started off in my career investigating new bio fuel sources, but life doesn't always go as planned. Sometimes the only way to realize your true path is to take the long way around. I am so excited to share with you and your family my fascination of the mysteries and wonders our world contains and the ways to explore and experience them. Since becoming a teacher, I have sought out countless opportunities to increase my knowledge of science and find new and exciting educational tools and techniques. Your student will be given the opportunity to utilize many of those tools and explore the world of science in their own personal way. 

During our time together, your student will explore how  life science influences countless aspects of their daily lives and how the material we will learn about will provide them with the tools to make better sense of it. They will examine real world cases and phenomena that will allow them to continue their learning at home, in the car, and whenever they have the chance to share that learning with someone else. In our class your student will explore numerous different pathways in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics to allow them an opportunity to experience the ways that the content we are learning is used to directly impact their lives. Looking at things with this STEAM lens will make the knowledge we gain together both engaging and long lasting.

     On this website, you will find links and pages that will be useful to you and your student during the school year. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions or concerns. Email is the best method to contact me as I am often busy teaching or coaching and am often unable to answer the phone. Emails will be replied to within 24hrs.
