Tonya Costa was born in Baton Rouge and was
raised in Watson, La. She graduated in the top ten from Live Oak
High School in 1989 and went straight to college at Southeastern
Louisiana University. Costa graduated Cum Laude with a degree in
Education in 1994.
Tonya married Tommy Costa in 1994. They
have two girls, Catherine and Kellee Costa. She was a stay at
home mom for six years. She did volunteer work and some
substituting for Holy Ghost before she was hired on as a math teacher
in 2001. After teaching math for one year, she moved to teaching
P.E. where she has been for three years.
As Costa was substituting at Holy Ghost, she
realized that this was the place she wanted to teach. The
faculty and staff treated each other like family. The atmosphere
was warm, caring and joy to be in. Costa feels that one benefit
from teaching at Holy Ghost is being able to have a second family and
true friends. She knows that when you need something her second
family will always be there. She also enjoys teaching at the
same school that her girls attend.
