My name is James Larkin. I am the Physical Education Teacher and the Health Teacher at Holy Angels Regional School. I earned a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Physical Education from the University of South Florida; as well as a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Advertising from the University of Idaho. Prior to arriving at Holy Angels, I taught Physical Education at a K-8 Catholic school in Southwest Florida.

Please ensure that your son or daughter comes prepared for Physical Education by wearing their gym uniform; as well as a pair of sneakers - both of which are a requirement. "Backless" sneakers are not permitted; nor is any type of jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, rings, or hoop earrings. Please limit jewelry to stud-type earrings only. Safety is paramount; so, thank you for your understanding.
 
If you ever have a question or would like to speak to me, please feel free to send me an email at jlarkin5573@holyangelsregional.org.

Here's to a wonderful 2022-2023 school year!
