About me

Hello and welcome to my webpage! I am Chad Duryea and this is my seventh year teaching at the Richland School District and my sixteenth year overall in the teaching profession. I received my Bachelors of Education (Health and Physical Education / Drivers Education) from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania and I received my Masters of Education (Leadership: Principal K-12) from the California University of Pennsylvania. At Richland High School, I teach Adapted Physical Education, Individual/Team Sports, Personal Fitness, Weight Training, Seventh and Eighth Grade Physical Education, GJCTC Physical Education, and Yoga.

In addition to teaching, I am also a volunteer coach for the Varsity Boys Soccer team here at the Richland School District.  I currently hold an Advanced National Diploma from the United Soccer Coaches and I also hold a National D License from the United States Soccer Federation. Being a Richland alumni and former soccer player (Class of 2003), I am really excited to work with the talented student athletes of the Richland School District. I am also a coach for our Unified Bocce Ball. Our Bocce Ball team is a part of the Special Olympics PA Interscholastic Unified Sports (IUS). This program is a fully-inclusive co-ed after school high school sports program which successfully brings together students with and without intellectual disabilities. They train and compete as equal teammates and through this experience, become friends.
