Hello Diamond Valley students and parents,

My name is Eric Nord and this is my 11th year teaching at DVMS. I was raised in Hemet, and attended Whittier Elementary, Acacia Middle, Hemet Junior High, and graduated from Hemet High School. I attended CSU Fullerton, San Bernardino, and National University earning a BA in Political Science, a Single Subject Teaching Credential in History, and a MA in Education.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 3 kids. We love camping, hiking, cycling, snowboarding, sports and outdoor activities. We like to travel and experience new places. I like to build. One of our current projects is customizing a 1941 Ford pickup.

I have always enjoyed teaching school and helping my students to recognize and develop their own unique combination of interests and talents. History and Art have forever been my favorite subjects. I strive to create a classroom atmosphere that engages students in designing many of our lessons, and teaching one another in the process. We will build projects, learn skills and have experiences that will serve you well in life. I am a firm believer that when students work together as a team, we can do great things. It is my pleasure to be your teacher, and I look forward to a year that will be memorable and fun!
