About Me

Hi! My name is John Cirina and I'll be your 6th grade Social Studies teacher this year. I was born and raised in New York and received an undergraduate degree from the State University of New York at Oneonta in 1982. I moved to California in 1985 and received my teaching credential from San Francisco State in 1991. This will be my 32nd year teaching! I've taught at Dana Middle School for 10 years. I am married and have two sons. We have a black lab/shepherd mix rescue dog named Blackjack and a black and white medium hair rescue cat named Carlos. I love my family, my job, reading, the beach, eating, trying to stay in shape, and sports of any kind. I look forward to a fun and productive year and I hope you do too.
