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 2009-2010 school year will be my 12th 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.
Family
My wife, Amy, is also a Physical Education Teacher. Amy teaches at Riverside Middle School in Watertown. We are proud parents of three boys, Cael, born in March of 2003, Logan, born in June 2005, and Reed, born in September 2007. We currently live in Slinger. My mom and dad live on the farm that I was raised in Cedar Grove, WI. My mom is a retired teacher, having taught in the Northern Ozaukee School District in Fredonia for 34 years. My dad is a farmer. I have a sister, Jennifer and a brother, Jon, and one wonderful Grandma. I am also a proud uncle to Bobby, Ryan, Kate, Davis, Connelly, and Philip.
Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy water-skiing, running, bicycling, playing sheepshead, nordic skiing, watching current and former students compete for the Indians, and spending lots of time with my family.
