CAREER PATH

Anthony Glorioso

After high school, I attended Illinois State University and majored in Technology Education and worked as an assistant contractor during the summer. After graduating from ISU I became a educator at Normal Community High school in town. There I taught plasticsworking, metalworking, woodworking, drafting and animation. At NCHS I continued my passion with designing and producing products with my hands to share my passion with my students. Years later I went back to ISU to earn my masters degree in STEM Leadership as well as get certificates in Training and Development and Project Management. I now work at Bartlett High School continuing to share my passion for design and building. As well as work for a concrete company over the summer.
