About Mr. Duzan

HOME

This is my eighth year teaching at Lakewood Elementary School. I am certified to teach Special Education K-12, Elementary Education K-8, Earth Science 4-12, and have a Masters Degree in Special Education. I enjoy working with young students and helping them learn how to read, write, and do math.

Before teaching, I worked for about 15 years in the logging industry. When funds for retraining loggers became available, I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a teacher.

Before logging, I was in the military. I joined the Air Force at the age of 18 and was a veteran at the age of 22.

Before serving in the military, I myself was raised in a military family. Our family moved to a new Navy base every couple of years. Through this experience, I learned to appreciate diversity.

For the past eight years, I have enjoyed organizing the Celebrating Differences Program at Lakewood Elementary School. Through this activity I have met many generous members of the community who have donated their time and talents year after year.
