Welcome:
My name is Matt Barone. This will be my 14th year teaching special education. I graduated from Texas A&M in 2009 and taught at Oakwood Intermediate and then College Station High School in CSISD before joining the Owl family. My passion is helping students succeed to reach their full potential in all areas of life while instilling a positive atmosphere that promotes independence and confidence. I am married to my beautiful wife, Casey Barone, of 12 years and have two, twin boys, Walker and William, who will be 9 in September. I love all things Aggie sports and am so excited to be an Owl!
