If I may introduce myself, this will be my 8th year as a 6th grade teacher at Thomas Starr King Middle School and 11th year teaching. I went to UCLA for undergraduate work and received my B.A in Political Science. I also have my graduate degree (M. Ed) from UCLA focusing on urban education. In terms of hobbies, I am an avid outdoorsmen, traveler, and photographer.
Mr. Laguna is currently reading Crossover by Kwame Alexander..
