We would like to welcome our new high school case manager Erik Hanson

My name is Erik Hanson, but many call me Erik of Da North. I was born and raised in the wild land of Alaska. My free time was spent out in nature fishing, hunting, hiking, mountain biking and exploring the wilderness. I started my teaching career on the mighty Yukon River and then spent 23 years teaching high school on Kodiak Island. The experiences of commercial salmon fishing, wood milling, coaching and construction have helped strengthen my approach to teaching and relating to students. My wife and I retired from Alaska six years ago and moved to Roslyn (Cicley, AK), where we bought her grandparents house on Alaska Ave. Alaska seems to be all around me. I am excited to be part of the Warrior family and teaching in the high school.
