My name is Matthew Raya, and I am the Physical Education teacher for TK-8th grade, the Middle School interim science teacher, and the schools Athletic Director here at St. Joseph. I am starting my 13th year here, and I enjoy teaching the wonderful children that attend St. Joseph. I have been with the Diocese for 21 years coaching basketball and softball at Rosary High School previous to joining the staff at St. Joseph.
Teaching Philosophy
My goal is to inspire the students to live a healthy lifestyle through exercise and eating properly. Teach students the skills and rules of sports that I hope will inspire them to play.
