Grant Dunbar   

Student Teaching  In 2015 I got my first job in a school district; educational 

Applicant   assistant in a special education program. Admittedly, it 
started off as just another job. Little did I know at the time, 
ㅡ 
education is a huge passion of mine! I spend the next few 
1609 South Comet Road 
Sioux Falls, SD 57103  years learning from some amazing teachers and students 
605.360.1878  before convincing myself to enroll in a more formal 
grant.dunbar@trojans.dsu.edu  education program. I have spent the last three years at 
  Dakota State University, working towards a bachelors in 
Special Education & Elementary Education; all the while 
continuing to work at Patrick Henry as a full time 
educational assistant. This combination of school and work 
have given me a unique experience and perspective on 
education, one that I am excited to finally implement in a 
classroom!  
 

I live in Sioux Falls with my wife and our three dogs, Marley, 
Brayer, and Luna. We are expecting our first baby on 
December 5th! I am sure by the time you read this he will be 
with us! My also world at Patrick Henry as a band teacher, as 
 
well as Pettigrew Elementary. We try to spend most of our 
time at our family lake house located on Lake Kampeska. 
When I am not at the lake or working, I like to play Ultimate 
Frisbee and ski. In summer, I captain a nationally competing 
Ultimate team based out of Omaha, Nebraska. In the winter, 
my wife and I try to take at least one Ski trip to Colorado or 
Montana (though I’m not so sure that baby Dunbar will allow 
it this year!
