Teacher Talk: David Brondyke

by Chelsey Moore

New science teacher David Brondyke appeared full of energy and very humorous at the beginning of the year. 

Brondyke attended Clinton High School in Clinton, Iowa. He was involved in football, basketball, golf and choir. Brondyke was also in the science club, Students Against Destructive Decisions and the National Honor Society. 

After he graduated high school in 2002, he started going to Central College in Pella, Iowa.   There, Brondyke earned a Bachelors Degree in natural science. 

After graduating in 2006 from Central, he started going to Rockford College in Rockford, Illinois, to receive his Masters Degree in arts education. Brondyke graduated from Rockford in 2010. He student taught at Freeport High School, in Freeport, Illinois. He became a teacher because he enjoys working with young people.

The community and the school brought him to Montezuma Community Schools. 

When asked about changes for next year, Brondyke said, “Every year’s different; I’ll still be here.” Also Brondyke’s favorite part about teaching is seeing students learn something for the first time.

What he’s most enjoyed about Montezuma schools is his classes’ intense games of mumball.

Outside of school he likes to spend time with family and friends, workout, watch movies, read, sleep and play video games.
