• Hey Everyone!
    My name is Matthew Esposito.  I grew up in the Hudson Valley, and I am incredibly excited about starting my fifth year here at New Paltz High School.  I have enjoyed teaching a variety of science courses during my time here. This year I am teaching AP Environmental Science, Life Science: Biology, Forensic Science and Horticulture.  I am also an advisor for the Environmental Club and previously Science Olympiad.

    If you know your student is interested in landscaping or gardening, please encourage them to reach out to me about our beautiful Courtyard Gardens.  Established by longtime NPHS master teacher, Cathy Law, The Courtyard Gardens are one of the unique aspects of our school and offer students the opportunity to apply what we learn in the classroom to practical hands-on experiences!  After Ms. Law's retirement, I was compelled to step in and keep this wonderful opportunity alive for students!  The courtyard gardens are primarily maintained after school by student volunteers in the Environmental Club.   We also make use of the courtyard during the school day in the Horticulture and AP Environmental Science classes (as a potential after-the-AP exam final project!).  For the 2024-2025 school year, volunteering in the courtyard after school counts towards the Seal of Civic Readiness!
