My name is Jim Funk and I'm the adaptive physical education teacher at Highland Senior High and Global Arts Plus Upper. I have taught and coached in St. Paul Public Schools for 31 years. I split my time between Highland and Global Arts Upper, working with special education students. I enjoy making positive relationships with students and seeing the smiles on their faces when they accomplish a new task in physical education.

I received my undergraduate degree at Makato State University and my graduate degree at St. Cloud State University.
