Welcome to Mr. Catchings' Applied Engineering class.
This is my 18th year with Mesquite I.S.D. I worked as a computer technician for 10 years within MISD before deciding to begin teaching. This is my 8th year (2018-2019) at McDonald Middle School teaching Applied Engineering.
I earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Information Technology specializing in Information Systems Security from the University of Phoenix. I earned my alt-teaching certification from I Teach Texas.
When I am not teaching, I spend my time...
...taking care of my elderly parents.
...rebuild/upgrade donated computers to give back to the community
(See Donate Older Technology above).
...cruising around on my Goldwing touring motorcycle.
...scuba diving in Mexico, Punta Cana, Turks and Caicos.
...writing music parodies and/or creating video projects.
...playing guitar, piano, singing.
***************************************************************************************************
Parent/Teacher meetings are by appointment only. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email. I will make all efforts to return any calls or emails within 24 hours or less.
