Welcome to my homepage!

This page and its links are intended to help students, parents, alumni and anyone else who would like to know what is going on in those areas of Palma that are my responsibility. During the 2009-2010 school year I am teaching all the sections of Ninth Grade Theology (Moral Growth first semester and Old Testament second semester) and Tenth Grade Theology (New Testament and Sacraments and Prayer) as well as 8th Grade Literature .  I serve as the Theology Department Chair.  In the summer I serve as Palma Summer School Principal. Below please find contact information as well as helpful links through which you can access homework, grade reports, additional information about the classes I teach, and more.
