About Me:
My name is Ryan Swenson, and I'm excited to be your math teacher this year! I am proud to have been born and raised in Helena Montana. My wife and I have three kids (two girls and a boy) and a dog named Koda. My Education: I graduated from Capital High School in 2009. Following graduation, I attended Carroll College to study Mathematics and Engineering (later switching to Mathematics and Secondary Education). I graduated magna cum laude from Carroll College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics in 2013; my honors thesis was titled "Football in Flight: a study of the math and physics of the trajectory of a kicked football." I was also a member of the Carroll College Football team for three years including the 2010 National Championship team and the 2011 National Championship Runner-Up team. I walked on as a kicker my sophomore year having never played football before. In 2023 I graduated from Montana State University with a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. What I Teach: I have taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Honors Math 1, Honors Math 2, Geometry, and Algebra 2 throughout my career. I have also coached both JV and Varsity tennis here at CHS and at Rigby High School in Rigby, Idaho. Extra-Curriculars: I am the head tennis coach here at Capital High, I referee high school soccer, coordinate the basketball home games, and work with various other activities at CHS. I also serve as the Assistant Director of the Carroll College Gifted Institute, a summer camp for gifted middle school students from around the state. (some of you may have attended G.I.!) Personal Time: I enjoy spending time with my wife and three kids, playing tennis, racquetball, and disc golf; refereeing soccer, exploring and hiking in National Parks, reading, fishing Montana's beautiful rivers and lakes, watching movies, and learning trivia. |
