Biography

My name is Mike Rudolph and I have been a high school teacher for over 24 years if you count a year teaching in Costa Rica and a six month stint in Antarctica. Along with teaching a random assortment of STEM electives, I teach AP Physics C – Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism, AP Computer Science A and AP Computer Science Principles. In 2023, I was a Colorado Semi-finalist for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching. I love working with a variety of students who bring unique and interesting challenges and perspectives to class each day.
