Mr. Gray
Welcome to Business and Computer Education

2006 Bentleyville
Welcome to the Esko Business and Computer Education Department. The department provides course offerings both as requirements and electives. On the computer technology side we offer classes from keyboarding to Web Design and computer applications to digital imaging. From the business perspective we offer classes in careers, accounting, and money managment.

I am entering my 19th year in business education. Following my graduation from the University of North Dakota I gained valuable teaching experience in northwestern Minnesota and in Chisholm, MN. In 1996 I found myself back near my hometown of Cloquet teaching at Wrenshall School where I taught a total of eight years. In the middle of my tenure at Wrenshall I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spend three years in the business world in sales working for Dex Yellow Pages out of Duluth.

This is my sixth year at Esko where I am also involved with Tech Prep, the Technology Committee, JV Baseball Coach, JH Football officiating, and various supervision duties. I'm proud to be a part of the Esko staff and the wonderful traditions established here.

On a personal front, my wife Kathy and our two boys enjoy living in this area very much. We are involved in baseball, hockey, football, and soccer; we love being close to Jay Cooke State Park and the Munger Trail for biking and walking; we spend time outside in all the seasons; and find time to relax and play at the area lakes and beaches.
