Mr. Longoria's classroom

 Bienvenido! My name is Fernando Longoria. My beautiful wife and I have two wonderful children. Our daughter is entering her Junior year in high school and our son will be entering his Freshman year. I have been in education for the last 17 years. In that time I have been a translator, a paraprofessional, a private tutor, and a licensed teacher. My professional goals are to eventually go into administration. In my 17 years, I have had the opportunity to educate all grade levels from kindergarten through graduating high school seniors. I have found that teaching middle school has been the most rewarding. Perhaps I am buying my ticket to Heaven or I am simply a glutton for pain! Outside of school,  I am very active. I enjoy going to the gym. I am an avid hunter and fisherman. I greatly enjoy reading and try to maintain a book a month at a minimum. Currently, my favorite author is S.A. Cosby. I enjoy action movies and watching "The Office" reruns. I am addicted to Coke Zero and any snack that is salty. This will be my first school year with the West Lafayette School Corporation, and to say I am excited, is an understatement. I am confident that us working together will have a fun, safe, and successful school year. Go Red Devils!
