Mabuhay! Welcome! My name is Enrico Abadesco (he/him). This will be my second year at Cleveland High School. Last year, I was a Special Education Instructional Assistant, and this year I am excited to continue supporting the Cleveland community as a Special Education Teacher. I will be teaching within 10th Grade Advisory and co-teaching 10th Grade Humanities with Tymmony Keegan.

Prior to joining Cleveland, I served as a youth worker for 7 years supporting K-12 youth programs in Auburn, Burien, White Center and south Seattle. Currently, I continue to organize in the Filipino community with Kabataan Alliance, a national alliance of Filipino youth and student organizations dedicated to serving our communities here and back home in the Philippines. I know we are moving into a year full of change. As an educator, I hope to continue learning and to uplift the voices and visions of our young leaders. I believe in their collective power, and that a new, beautiful and bright world is being created right now.

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions via email: ecabadesco@seattleschools.org

This will be my second year working in education and second year at Cleveland. I feel lucky to have landed at such a great school with such supportive staff and administration. I have split roles at the school. I am the activity coordinator and a teacher. I teach two introduction to business courses and one marketing course. As the activity coordinator, I work with ASB to put on school events, oversee club activity and carry various other responsibilities. I earned my bachelors in Marketing, Business Administration from Colorado State University. I am a mixed race, first generation college graduate and take pride in creating a learning environment that students feel comfortable in. Outside of school, I like riding bikes, playing soccer, collecting vinyl and soaking up that summer sun.

Class Schedule Semester 1:

Period 2: Introduction to Business

Period 5: Marketing

I am new to Cleveland HS this year, joining the math department after 9 years at Rainier Beach HS. Prior to becoming a math teacher I practiced as a structural engineer for 5 years.

I love to skateboard & snowboard, play soccer, and build/fix things out of wood and metal.
