I already graduated from Syosset not too long ago but Calabria was by far one of my favorite teachers at Syosset. I had him senior year for Criminal justice I believe to fulfill the electives option for social studies. Honestly, an overall great and funny & lighthearted guy. Super approachable and really knows how to connect with students almost as if he were one himself. All the kids are comfortable around him and jump at the opportunity just to talk to him lol. You can tell he's really respected by everyone and is really genuine. His classes are not difficult at all so you have that going for you. Interesting material being taught and relevant to what is actually happening in the real world. Shows several fun movies that help strengthen the material being learned in class and he also encourages participation from students. Just a really chill teacher who definitely enjoys teaching and looking out for students. Syosset teachers can sometimes be pretty hit or miss but I honestly am glad I got this teacher.
