My name is Alex Roorda and I am the High School Mathematics teacher here at Granada-Huntley East Chain School.  This is my tenth year at GHEC, but it is my 15th year of teaching overall.  I graduated from North Dakota State University (GO BISON!) with a degree in Mathematics Education and St. Mary's University of Minnesota with a Master's of Arts in Education degree.   I've taught everything from 7th grade Pre-Algebra to College Algebra over my career and I strive to bring a fun, enjoyable, and challenging environment to math class, no matter the grade or level.  I am also the head football coach for GHEC-Truman Jaguars and serve on various groups throughout the school.

My wife, Katie, and I have four kids, Brock is in eighth grade, Bentley is in fourth grade, Brielle is in Kindergarten, and Blakely is three. We live on Katie's family farm outside of East Chain that has been in her family for close to 100 years.

I look forward to another fantastic year!  Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions at alex.roorda@ghec.k12.mn.us or by calling the school at 507-447-2211.
