Mr. Presti is exhilarated to be teaching English IV and Business English in his fourth year at Chalmette High School. Growing up in Orleans Parish, he attended Benjamin Franklin High School, and went on to attend University of New Orleans, Northeastern Illinois University, and Delgado. Although he is not a native of St. Bernard Parish, he likes the area immensely and the people who call it home. He has a B.A. in the Liberal Arts with a specialty in English from U.N.O. and graduated with a M.A. and certification in secondary English (grades 6-12) in 2016. One of his passions has always been teaching reading and writing, and he enjoys sharing his love of English literature and poetry with his students.
