2000. Prior to teaching at St. Francis, he taught one year at Flowery
School in Sonoma. Prior to that, he was a licensed Psychiatric Tech for
18 years. Mr. Monga is actively involved with our school’s Technology
Plan, which develops and updates technology acquisitions and advances
at St. Francis. In conjunction with the Parents’ Club, Mr. Monga helped
acquire laptops for teachers, several LCD projectors, an upgrade of the
school’s computer lab, and has made certain most classrooms and the
library
have working computers. Mr. Monga has been instrumental in creating and
maintaining our school-wide recycling program which now includes an
active composting program. His commitment to the
environment has not only helped the earth, but has reduced the school’s
garbage collection bill by over $125 per month. Another
program Mr. Monga has organized is our annual “Jump Rope for Heart.”

has heart disease. Going into our 7th year St. Francis has consistently
been a top money raiser for the American Heart Association. Mr. Monga

Masters degree in counseling from John F. Kennedy University. He earned
