Greetings! My name is Mr. Zurga and I will be your teacher for the 2025-2026 school year. I have been teaching in the Owen J. Roberts School District since 1992. My favorite subject to teach in science. In my free time I like to spend time out in nature - hiking, camping, and fishing. Another hobby of mine is metal detecting. I love finding and digging up old coins and relics from the past! I have a daughter named Tessa and a son named Gabe. I live in Chalfont, a small town in Bucks County, PA.
