7th Grade

Joe Scarpino

I have a Bachelor's in Social Studies Education and endorsements in geography, political science, and economics from Illinois State University.  I am also highly qualified to teach ESL/ELL students.  I am currently working on my Masters in Educational Leadership and Administration at North Central College.  I have taught for three years at Downers Grove South High School.  During that time, I have taught grades 9-12 in World History and U.S. History.

I love engaging in discussions about social issues with students.  I enjoy spending time with my wife, playing board games, going on walks, traveling, watching movies and following the Chicago White Sox and Fighting Irish.

I am most looking forward to meeting a new group of students, their guardians, my co-workers and being able to work in a Catholic community.
