Hello, all -
I am Rick Redington. I have been at CCPS since 2010 (I think). I designed the 9th and 10th grade English curriculum in my first year here, and have taught English 9 & 10, IB Literature, IB Philosophy and TOK. My colleagues might not know that I used to tour with Merce Cunningham Dance Company out of NYC.

Hi! This is Francine Binnert.  I am the librarian at CCPS and currently working to create and establish the new library program.  Prior to working in schools, I had positions in public and state libraries working to build makerspaces and create literacy and STEM programs for children ages 0-18 (and their parents).  My favorite book is House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.

My name is Jenn Nevdahl and this is my 24th year teaching and 5th year at CCPS. I have taught in both public and private schools. This is my second IB school. I have taught Language Arts in grades 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11. I have taught history in grades 6, 9, and 10. I 100% prefer teaching history and prefer teaching world history over US history. Something my colleagues might not know about me is that I was planning on becoming a pastor after college. I had visited my chosen seminary in the Twin Cities. Thankfully, I was not able to take Greek at my college prior to starting seminary, so I took a job at a church as a youth director and found out that working at a church sucks.

Hi! My name is Michelle Durkin also known as Ms. Stokes.  This year, I am in a new role supporting all online students.  Normally, I teach 6th-grade Ancient Civilizations. This is my 3rd year at CCPS.  Fun fact is that I am a fourth-generation teacher....however, I tried to resist the teaching bug when I was younger and ran away to work at Disney World.

This is Pete Lukes. I have been at CCPS since 2013 and have taught Theory of Knowledge every year, and most years World History and or US History in 9th and 10th. This year I am teaching senior TOK and newly in the CAS Coordinator role - and loving both! My colleagues may not know that I spent my entire high school years in Singapore - from 1984 to 1988 when there were still patches of jungle to play in there.
