About Mr. Triggs:
I grew up in Mount Ayr and attended college at SWCC and NWMSU before finally transferring to Graceland University where I completed a Bachelor of Science in Science Education. I student taught Biology in Bedford and thought of myself as a life science teacher. My first 5 years teaching were in a shared position between Creston and East Union. It was there I discovered a love for teaching the physical sciences. The next 8 years I worked full time at East Union. My focus was on teaching engineering and upper level sciences. I was part of the leadership team and enjoyed building partnerships between teachers and departments. I began teaching high school science in Mount Ayr in 2021. My passion is in personalizing student pathways and providing unique opportunities for all types of students. I introduced a new course, Innovative Science, and began teaching Computer Science in the first two years at Mount Ayr. The students, parents, and school leadership are among the best. I love being a Raider again.
