My name is Eric Herndon and I am the physical science teacher and head track and field coach at Forsyth High School in Forsyth, Montana.

My family and I moved to Forsyth in 2018 from Kentucky. However, I am originally from Massachusetts. I have a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and a Masters Degree in Teaching Physics from Eastern Kentucky University (EKU). I also attended the University of Kentucky (UK) College of Engineering for a couple years in between. My wife, Stacey, is also from MA and works at Rosebud Health Care Center. Our daughter, Kaylee, is studying mechanical engineering at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Our oldest son, Riley, is a HS junior, and the youngest, Bailey, is in seventh grade. We also have 10 (yes, 10!) cats at home. I'm an avid video gamer but enjoy hiking, camping, shooting, driving my Jeep, riding my motorcycle, and generally being outdoors, especially anywhere in Montana or South Dakota.

(I'm a HUGE Kentucky Wildcats and Las Vegas Raiders fan! I can talk college sports or NFL all day long!)
