Mr. Dalen Heinzen

Welcome to St. Matthias School. I am so glad that you've taken the time to visit. Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I have been teaching at St. Matthias since 1979. In all of the past 28 years I have had the pleasure of meeting and teaching physical education and computer classes to nearly 2100 great children. What a blessing you all have been! I am a proud father of two great daughters and husband to a wonderful wife.

Our school has a state-of-the-art computer lab with thirty-two networked computers. The lab, as well as several other rooms, are equipped with SMART Board technology. Here, students in grades 1-8 meet weekly to learn applications in word processing, internet use, spreadsheet, multimedia presentation, & keyboarding. Class projects are designed to compliment other curricular areas. In partnership with classroom teachers, we stress use of the lab in all subject areas, utilizing technology whenever possible.

I look forward to the next twenty five years, the challenges they will bring, and the successes we all have along the way.
