Introducing Mr. Hamilton!

Introducing Mr. Hamilton!

This is the second in a series of five posts introducing the new teachers at Gladbrook-Reinbeck.  Up next is Mr. Hunter Hamilton, the High School Agriculture Education Teacher & FFA Advisor.  Mr. Hamilton was raised in the small community of Lone Tree, Iowa and is a graduate of Iowa State University.  Here is a little more background on Mr. Hamilton:

Name: Mr. Hunter Hamilton

Position: High School Agriculture Educator/FFA Advisor

College(s) & Degree(s): Iowa State University. B.S in Agriculture Education and a Minor in Horticulture

Prior Teaching/Coaching Experience: I recently completed my student teaching at Western Dubuque High School

Initial Impressions of G-R: I am excited to be back in small-town Iowa!  Even though I haven't been here long, I can already feel the community support.

Favorite subject when you were in school: Agriculture and History

Favorite sport or activity in high school: FFA

Hometown: Lone Tree, Iowa

A funny story from your school days: We used to have "Spirit" Day during Homecoming Week.  For some reason, I was the only guy dressed as a ghost on that day...weird.

Hobbies: Traveling, Hiking, Being Outdoors

Why did you become a teacher? I became a teacher to help students realize their potential and support them as they accomplish life goals and aspirations.

Mr. Hamilton spends half of his day at G-R and the other half at Dike-New Hartford, where a new agriculture program is being established.  He’ll also be advising a new, joint FFA chapter that is shared between the two schools.  Please join us in welcoming Mr. Hamilton to the G-R rebel family!
