Hello, I'm Mr. Dreesen. I grew up in NW Iowa. My hometown is Sheldon, Iowa, home of the Orabs. I went to Northwest Missouri State University after high school. OABAAB. Graduated Northwest, in 1991, and have been a teacher ever since. I have taught U.S. and World History, Geography, Government, Psychology, Sociology and courses in Physical Education.
