Corsi graduated from St. Mary’s eighth grade in 1987, graduated from South Hagerstown High School and went on to graduate from Mount St. Mary’s University. 

He and his wife, Debbie, are the parents of four children, three of whom attend St. Mary, and he is a community leader in the business world.

Corsi said Catholic education is extremely important to him and he is determined that his own children have a Catholic education through eighth grade for the values and academics. 

He said he likes the family atmosphere and believes his ability to write comes from his years at the school.
