My name is Kurt Vanden Heuvel and I have been passionately involved in secondary education for over 14 years and involved with athletics/ activities for over 25 years. I have enjoyed the process of growing as a leader while building relationships in various environments such as: K-12 Summer Principal, Head Coach, Collegiate Athlete, Aquatics Director, and now serving as your Activities Director at Wausau East. I find it rewarding to be in a multi-faceted position due the challenges of finding creative solutions and unconventional ways to help make programs and initiatives thrive. These experiences have shaped my values which align very well with Wausau East’s expectations and I understand the importance they have on contributing to a community of success and student achievement. It is my intent and mission to adhere to these values by being present at extracurricular events, advocating for our hard working staff, displaying successes within our community, and enhancing student opportunities to develop soft skills and school pride. I will collaborate closely with all stakeholders to ensure facilities meet/exceed standards, coaches/ directors are equipped to build their programs, and communication is easily accessible through multiple platforms for the community. I stand firm in my belief that extracurriculars play a large role in being an extension of the classroom and can assure you I will be an integral part of the academic process as it correlates to the success of each afterschool program. I am excited to be part of a great community with such a strong history of support and excellence. If you see me out and about at any event, do not hesitate to come up and say hi! GO JACKS!!

This year, I will be moving down the hall to the main office to become the Associate Principal of Programming and Special Education at Wausau East. Rooted in our shared core values of Respect, Integrity, Compassion, and Excellence, Wausau East has a long tradition of providing the highest quality educational opportunities for all students and families. Alongside some of the most skilled educators, caring support staff, and dedicated administrators, I am excited to work to continue this tradition and to further expand opportunities for our students and families.

  • By David E. Coenen a Research Paper Submitted In
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN OUTDOOR CLUB WITH AN EMPHASIS ON DEVELOPING AN ENVIRONMENT AL ETHIC AT WAUSAU EAST HIGH SCHOOL by David E. Coenen A Research Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree MASTER OF SCIENCE College of Natural Resources UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN Stevens Point, Wisconsin July 1 998 APPROVED BY: --~4--&~ ------ ~ Randall J. Champeau Professor of Environmental Education ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this project was to develop an outdoor club at Wausau East High School that would provide a variety of outdoor experiences while at the same time promote a positive influence on the development of the participants' environmental ethic. The author and a fellow colleague acted as advisors to the newly formed club. This paper details the steps used to develop an outdoor club and specific examples of club activities. Once the club was formed a number of concerns needed to be resolved. Things such as club structure, club funding, club activities and safety issues were discussed. Furthermore, the project wanted to document the value of participating in outdoor activities such as hiking and camping. Through environmental awareness and modeling responsible environmental behavior, the results of a brief study suggest that the participants' environmental ethic was affected in a positive manner. However; the duration of this effect was not looked at in this study. In general, the main goal of starting up a club that would provide opportunities for students to participate in a variety of outdoor activities was achieved. In future years, the outdoor club will provide similar annual trips/outings that contribute to the development of a positive environmental ethic and members look forward to coordinating the schools' recycling program.
