Hello Students and Families,

I am excited for the year ahead, especially getting to know my new students.  I love teaching at Mahtomedi and am fortunate to teach a subject I feel passionate about in Science.

Prior to Mahtomedi, I taught high school science for 6 years in Montevideo, MN and 8 years at AFSA High School in Vadnais Heights.  Classes I teach include high school Biology, Earth and Space, and CIS Human Physiology, Technology, and Medical Devices (U of M BIOL 1015).

I look forward to meeting students and families.

Danny Kurkieiwcz

Our School
Mahtomedi High School has a heart for innovation, provides rigorous academic coursework, and supports students to explore extracurricular opportunities. Our teachers and staff are passionate and dedicated people who explore innovative ideas and teach our students new ways of thinking to support them in whatever career path they choose. Students engage in project-based learning to solve real-world problems using industry-standard technology in the nation’s first M.I.T. certified FabLab housed in a public school. Fine arts is a vital and robust part of the High School and our visual and performing arts classes include ceramics, digital art, choir, band, and event broadcasting. We also offer Flex Time during the school day when students may receive academic support, engage in college and career exploration, and connect over common interests. Over 90% of our student community engages in extracurricular activities that range from athletics to robotics. Students’ social and emotional learning is addressed through various avenues including a restorative practices approach for student behavior and through our Zephyr Link Crew mentoring program.
