Gateway H.S. Teacher Facing DUI Charges After Crash On School Grounds

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Charges are pending against Michael Mastorovic, a social studies and special education teacher at Gateway High School in Monroeville.

According to the district's website, the 54-year-old has been with the school district for the past eight years.

KDKA found tire tracks in a grassy area, in front of the school, near a ball field. There are reports that Mastorovich crashed his car in front of the school early Tuesday morning.

KDKA went to the Gateway district administrative office to speak with the superintendent, Williams Short. A secretary said Short was out of the office and there was no one available to comment on Mastorovich.

Parents and former teachers said at the very least, Mastorovich should be investigated.

"I trust my kids with teachers. They're supposed to protect them when I'm not around," said Stephanie Fasso, when she learned about the reported incident.

"You're in a position where you're supposed to be a role model, supposed to be an example and that's not a good example," added Kevin Farrar.

Mastorovich could face charges including DUI, public drunkenness and criminal mischief.
