NEWS IN OUR SCHOOL
St. Joseph School is the best little kept secret in Maui. We are the only Catholic school in Upcountry. We are dedicated to the Christ-centered faith formation of each child. The school is nestled on the beautiful slopes of Haleakala. This serene background gives our students a perfect environment to enjoy learning in a close-knit community. There is an incredible ohana spirit on campus with a wonderful active group of parents, faculty and staff. Each child is a precious gift and we strive to guide them each day to reach their highest potential spiritually and academically.

1st grade web page

I am thoroughly enjoying my 9th year of teaching. Five of which have been here at St. Joseph School. Prior to teaching Kindergarten and 1st Grade here at St. Joseph, I taught in St. Paul, Minnesota, where I grew up. There’s no “warmer” place I’d rather be than with the wonderful children, families, and staff that surround me here at St. Joseph School!

5th grade class webpage

I am currently teaching my 15th class of 5th graders. Prior to joining the St. Joseph staff in 2001, I taught at St. Catherine's in Redondo Beach, California. In addition, I teach 4th Grade Social Studies and serve as the Social Studies Dept. Chairperson. I am very proud of my years at St. Joseph, and have great appreciation for the opportunity to bring the life and teachings of Jesus into my daily course of instruction. I also believe that a solid understanding of our history is essential to our roles as informed and empowered citizens. I have great affection for the Upcountry Catholic Community, and for all of the students who have come through my class. In my spare time I enjoy ocean activities, various artistic and musical outlets for creative expression, and especially enjoy spending time with my wife Mary, daughters Natalie and Kailie, and dogs Mocha and Michiko.
