MR. Lachermeier

I absolutely love being a teacher at Minneapolis North Community High School. This will be my 13th year teaching at North. My family and I have lived in North Minneapolis for over 22 years. I love teaching US History because if we want to understand and confront all the problems facing our country today we must understand the deep roots of these problems. I want students to become historians rather than just learn about history from one perspective. I want my students to analyze multiple perspectives from our past to come to their own conclusions and solutions. We will spend a great deal of time analyzing, discussing and writing about primary sources from the past together as a learning community. This year I will be teaching 1 sections of a University of Minnesota US History class as 4 11th grade US History Classes. I love helping students taking a college level course and gaining the confidence that they can compete academically with any students across the country and across the world. When I am not teaching I enjoy coaching football at North and spending time with amazing wife Jen who also  teaches at North and our two kids we love so much, Logan (17), who is a senior at North, and Maddie (15) who is a freshman at North.
