About Me

Hello, my name is Lauren Wheeler, I am a member of the health and physical education team; that has a dual license in health and physical education. I'm excited to be here at Henry high school whereas this is my first year teaching at Henry. However, I have been teaching for over a decade from elementary to post-secondary students in various grade levels. I am teaching Fitness for Life, a required class for high school graduation plus Weight Training, Specific Sports Activities, and Health. I am overjoyed to be teaching young people how to establish a healthy lifestyle here at Henry. I enjoy traveling the world, playing intramural sports, and reading inspirational books during my free time. Currently, I am pursuing a doctorate in Health and Physical Activity from the University of Pittsburgh. I had an opportunity to contribute my skill sets in Summer 2020 with a group of doctoral students and my professor on physical education recommendations for COVID-19 back to school nationwide. I also have been fortunate to be the Minnesota Teacher of the Year Finalist of 2021.
