About Mr. Grotenhuis

Education

I graduated from UW-Oshkosh in December of 1997 with a Bachelor's of Science in Physical Education and minors in health, coaching, and adapted physical education. I graduated from UW-La Crosse in August of 2001 with a Master's Degree in Physical Education Pedagogy.  I continue to take graduate courses to further my education.  I am a 1993 graduate of Cedar Grove High School, and classmate of sixth grade teacher Mr. Grisolono.

Experience

In the fall of 1997, I served as an intern at Kewaskum Middle School. After graduation, I taught for one semester at Germantown High School. From 1998-2000, I taught Physical Education at Lake Shore Middle School in Mequon, WI. In August of 2000, I returned to Kewaskum Middle School to teach Physical Education and Health. The 2008-2009 school year will be my 11th year of teaching. I love working with the staff and students at Kewaskum Middle School.  In addition to teaching, I have coached middle school basketball, volleyball, and track and field and high school baseball.
