About MeMy name is Dave Caccavaro, my students call me "Mr. C".
I teach 8th grade Science at HJ MacDonald Middle School and love spending time with the Warcub students every day. I am also a coach, both in and out of school. Currently I am the Assistant Coach for Football and Baseball but I have also coached many other sports. I am married and have been for 19+ years. My wife Jennifer is a children's librarian at the New Bern-Craven County Library. We have four children who range from 1st grade through Senior year of high school. You will hear about my family often. I am from Boston Massachusetts originally and love my Boston sports teams. I also have a strong connection to the New Bern Bears and have been the radio broadcaster for them for almost 15 years. I am looking forward to a great year at HJM, Go Warcubs. |
Who I Am |
I expect excellence in my classroom.
This starts with attitude: you are excellent. This continues with work: your work is excellent. This ends with goals: your vision is excellent. |
My History |
I took a rather unique path to education. School was not for me and after many failed attempts at college, I put that on hold and went into the work force. After 15 years, I chose to finish my education and graduated in 2013 from East Carolina University with a Bachelor of Science in Middle Grades Education with a concentration in Language Arts and Mathematics. I was quickly hired by Pamlico Middle School to teach Math and Science so i added a certification in Science to my degree. After 1 year there, I transferred to HJM to be closer to home and tough Science and Social Studies (after adding another certification). This year I am just teaching Science and it will be my third year teaching the subject.
