Please welcome our new 5-8 computer science teacher, Mark Kenny. He is originally from Akron, Iowa. This is the start of his 24th year of teaching. He has spent most of his career teaching math and science at the middle school level. He went to college at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa. He obtained his K-12 Curriculum and Instruction Master's Degree online from Nova Southeastern University based in Florida.
He went into teaching because he loves working with kids. He loves seeing the look on their faces when they actual "get it". He loves seeing kids laugh and having a good time while they learn. He chose to work at a middle school because he loves everything that goes with middle school. He loves the drama, the struggles, and the roller coaster of emotions that go with being a middle school student.
