Brian Kopp - Curriculum Coordinator
I currently serve as the Curriculum Coordinator and English Department Coordinator and Instructor at Fox Valley Lutheran High School. These roles build upon my love of learning and teaching that have helped to shape my career in education. Reading, researching, and testing educational best practices fascinates me.
I've also been blessed to serve not only at FVL but also Michigan Lutheran Seminary where I was Academic Dean and an English Professor for six years. Prior to these calls, I worked at private and charter non-WELS high schools in Florida.
