The mission of Haddam-Killingworth High School is to provide a personalized and collective experience through which students are challenged to develop the knowledge, skills, and work ethic to contribute to a global society.

STEM Education at
​Haddam-Killingworth
​High School

"Due to the rapid rate of change in our technological society, HKHS Technology Education prepares students to be technologically aware, literate, sensitive, capable, and competent.  All students should actively participate in broad experiences in communications, transportation and manufacturing/production with some pre-vocational elements for specific populations.  Students must understand technological innovation, the impacts of the products and processes of technology on the quality of life, and the need for critical evaluation and societal matters involving consequences of technology.  Students must learn how to carry out the application of scientific, mathematical and technological experientially-based problem solving"

Meet Mr. Todzia

I am actually an HK graduate of the class of 1997. I left HK and studied for two years at the University of New Hampshire, then transferred and completed an undergraduate degree in Construction Management from Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. I landed a job right out of school with a high end, custom home builder in Old Saybrook. I was with the company for 3 years, when I was offered a job as a construction supervisor for Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity. I worked full time with HFH for one year, when I coincidentally bumped into Mr. Kish, who suggested I apply for the wood shop teacher job at HK. That was 11 years ago now!
In the mean time I completed a Masters Degree in Moral Theology from Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, CT. 
 
I am a proud husband and father of four children and run a small home improvement contracting company as a side business.
​
One fun fact to know about me is that I never took even one wood shop class in High School!
