Mr. Erik Matticola

Though I was raised up north, I got to the south as quick as I could! I've been living and teaching in North Carolina for 21 years, and this is my ninth year at Swansboro High School. (GO PIRATES!) In my tenure, I've taught AP Government and Politics, AP United States History, Turning Points in American History, Civics and Economics, Civic Literacy, and American History II. I'm also co-advisor of Student 2 Student, advisor for Onslow County Close-Up Program, and co-advisor of Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society at SHS. Finally, I'm proud and humbled to have served as the 2015-16 Swansboro High School Teacher of the Year and the Onslow County Teacher of the Year. Swansboro High School is the greatest school and community ever, and I'm grateful to be a part of it.
