Mr. Josh Baloney
SPED Department
ELA 1-2
ELA 7-8
Room #436
Originally from Louisiana, I moved to Arizona in 2012, (7 years after being affected by Hurricane Katrina), in order to get a fresh start on life in a much less chaotic environment. I originally intended to enter the medical field as a career, but over the years i was moved to continue the education I started, pre-Katrina, and become an educator.
This is my second year teaching in any capacity. I am completing my degree, (Business of Secondary Education), at GCU. I have about 8 months, and I'm grinding away. Oh, and I'm also the Head Coach of the girls' basketball team, and the girl's Flag football team. Basketball is my first love.lol
I love what I am doing and I have a passion for education, apparently. Something I never thought I'd have as a youngster. The lesson I teach kids about life is, if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you. Struggle is a good thing, because without it we wouldn't know progress.
