NEW FACES AT REGINA: INTRODUCING MR. SABO

By Mia Gentry

There’s a new addition to Regina’s science department- Mr. Sabo! Mr. Sabo teaches AP biology, STEM environmental science, forensic science, and anatomy & physiology. If you’re not lucky enough to have Mr. Sabo this year, stop by and see him and his classroom’s skeleton (commonly referred to as Steve) for a kind smile and an awesome tie collection! Before teaching at Regina, Mr. Sabo previously taught in Roseville Schools for nearly twenty years, spending five years teaching eighth graders before moving into the high school. Mr. Sabo decided to teach because he, like many other educators, hoped and believed that he could make a difference in the lives and education of his students, and he has! He said that he wanted the opportunity to give these kids an “Aha!” moment. Furthermore, he chose to teach science because “Science explains the natural world around us, and ❲he❳ was always fascinated by it as a kid.” His most memorable scientific inspiration as a child was seeing a spider eat a fly!

Although he appreciates all of the sciences, he especially loved teaching astronomy and “loves the workings of weather and climate.” When discussing astronomy, Mr. Sabo said that he believes we will one day find life elsewhere in the universe! Outside of school, Mr. Sabo loves to spend time with his family the most; he has three children and two grandchildren! Also, he likes to golf and play both board games and video games. When asked what advice he would give to students, Mr Sabo said, “Don’t be afraid of your own shadow. Don’t allow your fears to hold you back, and don’t be afraid to try new things.” Welcome to the Regina family, Mr. Sabo!
