Hello! My name is Chase Guercio and I will be teaching English II and English III this school year. This will be my third year teaching at Waterloo High School, which is where I went to high school myself. After graduating from Waterloo High School, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Secondary English Education from Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, MO.
I hope to bring a passion to the English classroom that encourages students to better themselves and think critically about the world around them. It is my goal to help develop all students both academically and socially. Teaching ELA is something I have wanted to do since high school, and my interests span across many genres. William Faulkner and Edgar Allan Poe are my personal favorites when it comes to authors, but I am an avid reader of classic and contemporary literature alike.
My favorite thing to do when I have free time is hang out with family and close friends. Otherwise, I am probably playing video games. The photo below is of my nephew Dawson and me taking in a football game. I am a sports fanatic (Vikings, Cardinals, Timberwolves) and love discussing modern world events.
Some of my favorite works are:
A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest Gaines
The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner
The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
The Aeneid by Virgil
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
... and many more! Let me know how I may be of any assistance!
