Meet+Mr.+Bariexca

Thank you for dropping by!
My name is Damian Bariexca, and I'm looking forward to learning with you this year! This is my eighth year teaching English at Hunterdon Central, and each year I return excited to explore new avenues of learning with my students.

I am a graduate of the English program at [|The College of New Jersey] (B.A., cum laude, 1999). In addition to being an English teacher, I am also a Nationally Certified School Psychologist. My wife Stephanie and I have been married since 2003 (she works at Central, too - say hi if you see her!), and we have a three-year-old son named Dylan and an infant daughter named Kiera.

My main curricular interests are British literature and the works of William Shakespeare, and I have taught many courses at Central, including Multicultural Studies (with Mr. Khoudja), Survey of British Literature, English II, Major American Writers, Honors British Literature, and a course I co-created, Shakespeare's Comedy. I also advocate the responsible use of technology in the classroom, and try to implement it in such a way that the technology serves the lesson, not the other way around.

An avid soccer fan, I started supporting [|Newcastle United] ten years ago when I was a student at [|Northumbria University] (then called the University of Northumbria at Newcastle). I am also a fan of the [|Philadelphia Eagles] (please, stop laughing).

If you need to reach me, please go here for my contact information. Let's have a great year together.

All the best,

Damian N. Bariexca, Ed.S., NCSP English Department [|Hunterdon Central Regional High School]
