The 2019 school year introduced not only new students, but new teachers as well! Mr. Leonhardi, formerly a middle school math teacher at Mounds View School District, is one of the new additions and teaches Algebra II and Pre-Calculus. This year, he is most looking forward to “getting to know students and [understanding] how students learn best.” Mr. Leonhardi decided to become a math teacher after learning from a college professor who guided him towards a math education profession.
“[I love] learning how students think and talk about math and learning about what is important to students besides math,” Mr. Leonhardi says. “Students are kind and helpful to one another!”
When not teaching, Mr. Leonhardi can be found going on bike rides, watching sports, or playing board games. Let’s make him feel welcome! We already know Mr. Leonhardi was a good choice for a new math teacher.
