Marty Mudek

Welcome!
I started working at Saint John's in 2021. I graduated from St. Mary’s University in Winona, Minnesota with a History and Social Studies degree. I also have a Master’s degree in Instruction from St. Mary’s and a graduate certificate in Technology Integration from Boise State University. My teaching career started at Hill-Murray School (I am also an alum) where I spent 9 years teaching 7th grade U.S. History, 10th grade World History, 12th grade Government and an elective for upperclassmen called History of the Universe. I also coached middle school girls basketball, boys basketball (9th grade, B squad and varsity assistant), acted in multiple plays and worked backstage. I also led student travel around the United States and the world. Hill-Murray’s enrollment ended up declining and I had to look for work elsewhere. I spent 1 year teaching 7th grade U.S. History and 8th grade Geography at Central and Sunrise Middle Schools in White Bear Lake. Then I moved out to FAIR School in Minneapolis for the next 7 years and taught 10th grade World History, 11th grade U.S. History, and 12th grade Economics and Government. At FAIR I also led student travel around the world, worked as the technology integration specialist and was a member of the internal leadership team, that worked to improve school policies and academics. During the pandemic it was clear that I needed to get back to my roots and values and find a place back in Catholic education. Teaching Middle School Social Studies and Media at Saint John’s is a blessing.

Educational Philosophy

I want to make sure students are well rounded and have the communication, speaking, writing, technology and critical thinking skills to ensure students are successful in whatever path they choose after high school.
