My name is Caleb Bonjour, and I am a fun loving educator that strives to be a life-long learner. I have an amazing, supportive wife Amanda (a former principal and now education consultant and college professor ), an incredibly active and rambunctious ten-year-old son Lincoln, a sweet and sassy 7 year old daughter McKinley, and one spunky toddler with never ending facial expressions named Madison. We also have two great dogs, Tully (an English Mastiff), and Rosie (a Fox Red Labrador that is a therapy dog for our schools). I love being with my family, watching and playing sports, listening to many varieties of music, and learning more and more leadership and education on a daily basis.... oh and also collecting the many crazy shirts that I love to rock on a daily basis. 

 

I strive to be the best educator that I can be through studying best practices and constantly changing or adapting my practices to reach all students and staff. I have taught and coached with Pella Community Schools and Grundy Center Community Schools, and have served as the middle school Dean of Students and Principal of Cardinal Elementary in the Maquoketa Community School Distric, and Superintendent of Midland Community Schools. I am now the Superintendent at Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community Schools in addition to being an author and educational consultant and speaker.
