Mr. Peter Branstad

My name is Peter Branstad, and this will be my 8th year at North Community High School and my 12th year as a teacher. I was born and raised in Minneapolis, and I've taught in Minneapolis and St. Louis, MO, for the last twelve years in high school and middle school roles. I love sports of all sorts, I was the Head Coach of the North High Baseball Team for three seasons, and I also coached football and soccer at North. I hope that all students get involved in at least one extracurricular activity to receive a well-rounded educational experience and feel a true sense of belonging. At home, my wife and I have a six-year-old son, a four-year-old daughter, and an 8th-month-old daughter, and we enjoy quality time with a large extended family and travel. 

I hope to bring to North an ability to develop meaningful relationships with students and families, and a drive to prepare students for the world after their K-12 education while helping them build confidence in their own skills and abilities.

I am always looking to bring experts from the community to my classes, please reach out to me if you or someone you know has expertise in any field relating to Government or Economics.
