Featured Faculty – Mitchell Caffarini

How are you connected to AHS?
I first came to AHS as a student teacher working with Dave Simpson. After that, I was fortunate enough to be hired by AHS, and here I am 5 years later!

What do you love most about working at Assumption?
I have fantastic colleagues, great students, and Chick-fil-A lunches. That’s a pretty tough combination to beat.

What are some things you enjoy doing in your free time?

Honestly, most of my free time is devoted to being a dad, and I’m perfectly okay with that.

What advice or encouragement do you have to share with current and future students?

As my grandfather used to say, “If a turtle’s on a fence post, somebody put him there.”
No one succeeds entirely on their own. Take time to appreciate the people who help you along the way, your family, teachers, friends, coaches, and mentors. As you grow and find success, remember to be that person for someone else.

What is your favorite Bible verse?
Sirach 7:18 — “Do not barter a friend for money, nor a true brother for the gold of Ophir.”
