Mr. Foster

My name is Craig Foster and I have been teaching English since 1999. I have lived in Arizona for all but two years of my life and I am graduate of Mountain View High School ( Class of 1986 ) in Mesa, Arizona and I received my Bachelors of Arts in English from Arizona State University and my Masters in Education from Arizona State University. In addition to my responsibilities as a high school English teacher, I am also an adjunct English professor for Rio Salado College.  My hobbies include watching and playing sports, movies, traveling, listening to a variety of music, and spending time with my black labrador retriever, Holly. Last, I became an English teacher because of the inspiration that my high school and college English teachers gave me.  While it may not be your goal to become a high school English teacher, my goal is to help you reach your personal and academic goals in life.
