Hello, my name is Leon Rogalla.  I grew up on a farm in the northwest part of the state near the town of Thief River Falls and lived almost my whole life in Minnesota. The only time I lived out of the state is when I had a teaching job in Guatemala City, Guatemala.   I have been teaching at Highland Park Jr. High since 2001.  I have taught World Geography for 5 years and have taught U.S. History since 2007 years.  I received my undergraduate degree in Social Studies from Moorhead State University and my Masters in Education from Winona State University.  

I currently I help out with the after-school program.  I'm the co-site lead. I'm the drummer for the in-house teacher band that plays on the last school day of every year for the kids.

My hobbies include camping & hiking, watching the History channel and cooking.

I hope your children enjoy being in my class as much as I enjoy teaching it.
