Dear East High Family,

My name is Christopher Kasian.  I am thrilled to work with such a great team of leaders, teachers, and students as the 9^th Grade Principal at East High. East High is the perfect place to lead our youth in the right direction.

My goal as an educator is to encourage students to think, smile, dream, and strive to be their very best.  I began this journey at Luzerne County Community College and Bloomsburg University, where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education/English. At Lehigh University, I obtained an ESL teaching certificate.  The first 12 years of my teaching career, I taught middle and high school English and ESL in the Philadelphia, Hazleton, and Panther Valley School Districts. I started teaching at East High 7 years ago as an ESL teacher and directing Summer School.

Now, I am currently in my second year as an Assistant Principal at East High.  In addition to teaching, I coached basketball, football, baseball, and track for 11 years.  I also officiated PIAA basketball and baseball for 6 years.  At Wilkes University I earned my Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership.             

In my free time I enjoy being with my wife and children.  We are avid vegetable gardeners and farmers. I love being outdoors during all seasons and reading a good book.  Finally, I enjoy fishing, riding bikes, and exercising.

I am excited about being a leader at East High and look forward to a GREAT school year in 2022-2023!

Respectfully,

Christopher Kasian

9^th Grade Principal
