Mr. Curtice's ESL Homepage

I am a Fife School District native. I consider myself very fortunate to be doing what I am doing in the district that I grew up in. After high school, I attended Western Washington University where I got a BA in Spanish in 1992. After a short stint at Safeco Insurance I went to Central Washington University to get certified to teach. I received my Masters in teaching from Grand Canyon University in 2005.

Outside of school I enjoy life with my wife (Yvette), Preston (6), Pierce (4), and Victoria (1) in the Bonney Lake area. I also enjoy skiing, reading, and an occasional video game.
