Peterson Family

Hi everyone,  I am excited to start my 21st year in the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau School District. I have taught at the elementary and middle school levels and have experience as an elementary principal and athletic director, all in this amazing district. I received my teaching degree from Winona State University and my master's and administrator license from Viterbo University. I had the great pleasure of student teaching at Galesville Elementary and, at that point, knew I wanted to be a Red Hawk. 


I have a fantastic family who supports me: my wife, Jalena, and three sons, Ben (19), Braden (15), and Blake (11), and our dog, Bandit (7) In my free time, I love to hunt, fish, coach and do just about anything that involves the outdoors. I am also a die-hard Packer fan and support all of Wisconsin’s sports teams. I feel truly blessed to be part of this incredible community and look forward to a great school year. Please feel free to reach out and contact me at any time.
