Coach Falkenberg's Home Page Be Cool Stay in School



Students at MVMS raised $3500 for Riley Hospital, forcing several teachers to become Human Banana Splits. Coach Falkenberg (center) challenges next year's students to raise over $4000. By the way, the photo date is wrong. The Banana Split Party really actually was held on March 9, 2007

Two Year Survivors of Mr. Falkenberg's Class


From 1989-1999, Coach Falkenberg had both 7th and 8th grade classes. For the 1999-2000 school year, MVMS switched to team teaching. Falkenberg then began teaching 8th grade only. These are a handful of the hundreds of lucky students who were in Falkenberg's classes two years in a row.

All Time Greatest Social Studies Class

Although I have enjoyed teaching many great classes (and have survived a few rowdy ones), my best class of all time is the 2nd Period US History class of 1996-97.

The students in that class were: Morgan Adcock, Andy Almond, Bryan Beaver, Katie Benson, Brittany Chalmers, Ben Cole, Heather Edds, Ryan Edwards, Dana Hancock, Adam Ivancic, Danielle Kornmann, Megan Lee, Christine Maynard, Shelli Messer, Kevin Porter, Shon Richardson, Carl Rogers, Brett Sanford, Katie Sanford, Jason Silvey, Carly Staples, Ashley Sterrett, Emily Thieroff, Brittany Wilson, and Adam Yancey.


All Time Greatest Study Hall



The greatest studyhall of all time is the 1999-2000 6th period class. The students are: Anatha Dryden, Natalie Cheater Webber, Carlee Page, Dana Lawson, Mike Morris, Ben Smith, Tom Fish, and Tony Howell
