My name is Paul Cote and my family and I have recently moved to the Winchester area. I grew up in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan and received my undergraduate degree from Eastern Michigan University in special education. After working in special education for a number of years I wanted to expand my skills to help students both educationally and social-emotionally. I earned my masters degree from Providence College in Rhode Island in school counseling. I have been teaching special education since 2010 in Virginia and Massachusetts. 

In my spare time I enjoy cycling and spending time with my family. I’ve been married to my wife Christine since 2010 and we have two children. My wife and I moved a few times while she was a US Naval Officer but when her commitment was up and we were able to choose where to live, we found our new home in the Winchester area.
