Mr. Krage

My name is Zach Krage, and I am the Secondary II learning leader here at Riverway Learning Community. This is my ninth year at Riverway and my eigth year in the Secondary. Soon after graduating from Winona State University where I received my teaching license, I started my career at RLC as a paraprofessional in the Elementary I classroom. The following year I accepted the position as the SI learning leader. School year 2018-19 will be my first year as the Secondary II learning leader.

I, like all the learning leaders here at Riverway, wear many hats. I teach three sections of Social Studies (World History, Geography, Civics & Economics) to grades seven through twelve. I facilitate project-based learning at the Secondary II level. In past years I have served on the RLC Board of Directors and have taught art, guitar, and physical education.

Outside of school, I lead a very active life. I live in Winona with my wife, Lindsay, my son, Julian, and my daughter Vincent and we spend a lot of time in the outdoors. My favorite activities are reading books in hammocks, skateboarding, playing guitar, riding bicycles and vintage motorcycles, and vacationing with the fam.

I enjoy learning new things, and I believe that students should be lifelong learners who strive to always better themselves and the world around them. At the Secondary II level, our goal is to lay the foundations that students can build upon in their future as self-driven learners.
