THE GOLD MEDAL
GYM TEACHER (AKA Mr. Carlino)
by Naomi S. and Isabel Y.
Mr. Tony Carlino is the physical education teacher at Devonshire Elementary School. Mr. Carlino decided to be a P.E. teacher because his seventh grade P.E. teacher was very nice, and Mr. Carlino had a strong interest in fitness and sports. He coached football at Niles North High School for seven years and now teaches football at Main West High School, too.
When asked, “If you had one wish what would it be?” Mr. Carlino said, “That is a good question.” He had to think for a little when we suggested wishing that kids wouldn’t forget their gym shoes. He then said that he wished that kids would work hard and that Gym was five days a week.
Mr. Carlino has an older brother and an older sister. His grandparents are from Italy, but he was born in the United States. His favorite book is Moneyball. His favorite color is blue. He graduated from North Park College and got a Master's degree at North Park University.
Mr. Carlino was very active as a kid. He played lots of sports, but the ones that he liked the best were baseball and football. At his wedding, Mr. Carlino lip-synced to Motown music. "He is also quite the dancer, but it doesn’t really come through during the square dancing unit,” says Dr. Needlman, the principal at Devonshire.
As you can see, Mr. Carlino is a very awesome guy!!!
