Welcome to the Eighth Grade Home Page!
Steven Richardson completed his first year at Saint Anthony of Padua in 2023, but he is beginning his 15th year of working as a classroom middle school teacher. He has also served the Church in various ministries including serving as a NET missionary in the Midwest, marriage preparation classes, as well as Confirmation programs and family camps.
Mr. Richardson will continue his service as the 8th grade homeroom and middle school Religion and History teacher, as well as the Student Government Moderator. He has a passion for teaching the faith and academics in a way that impacts students’ daily lives.
Going on 13 years of marriage, Mr. Richardson and his wife are forming their five young children to be witnesses of Christ’s generous love. They enjoy taking summer road trips to learn first hand the beauty and history of our great nation. So far they have traversed 14 states and visited several significant religious and historical sites.
Mr. Richardson earned his Bachelor’s Degree in History from Cal State Fullerton and his Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Loyola Marymount University. He started his teaching career in Catholic schools and thought he would never leave, but God called him to teach in a public school for six years. While working in the public sector, he experienced firsthand the value of a Catholic education in today’s world. He returned to Catholic education at SAP with an ever greater passion to incorporate the faith back into his classroom.
