Upcoming Dates
Staff Spotlight
What is your name? Brandon A. Mundschenk
What department do you teach in/ How long have you been teaching at BG? I teach in the CTE Department (Career and Technical Education) and this is my 1st year teaching here at BG.
Where did you go to high school? I attended Lake Zurich High School.
What part of teaching do you find the most rewarding? The part of teaching that I find most rewarding is when I help a student find an area of passion in their life. Whether they decide to pursue this as a major, head straight into it as a career, or simply is something that they can use to make a difference, I am all for that.
What new thing have you learned this year as a teacher? Being that this is my second first-year of teaching, it may be shorter to list what I haven’t (yet) learned. However, the most impactful thing I have learned this year as a teacher is to be transparent. It is okay that I don’t know everything and students buy-in even more when they know I’m on the journey with them as opposed to simply teaching them everything that I already know.
What are you currently reading, and/ or do you have a favorite author or podcast? Non-Fiction - I am currently reading Leadershift by John Maxwell.
Fiction - I am currently reading Catch-22 (my all time favorite book).
Podcast - Stuff You Should Know
What activities or clubs do you coach/sponsor? I am currently in the process of creating a new group here at BG: Bison L.E.A.D. In this group, we aim to develop leaders of all types and empower them to make change and impact others. I am also involved with theater at BG, helping out with all of the backstage elements: Lighting, Audio, Scenic Construction, and Painting.
What is something unique about you? I learned how to juggle while riding the unicycle for a show in college and continue to hone that skill in case the circus life comes knocking. I’m out 1-2 hours a week on the uni and have completed several (small) grocery trips on one wheel.
Back Those Bison!

Buffalo Grove High School created an armed forces collage and displayed it on school monitors throughout the day. It honors staff, their immediate family members and community members who served the country. Read Story
