Erik Wittanen

Erik grew up in a small, rural town in upper Michigan. The culture he grew up in centered on family and finding a sense of community, two things he treasures and incorporates into his work as an educator. Erik is most passionate about teaching his students the value of community and service to others and focuses on building student skills to improve their lives. The last four years, he has guided students in AP Seminar and AP Research and has helped them overcome challenges and reach their highest potential. Outside of teaching, Erik is the advisor for several student-led community service clubs.
