Mr. Gerdes


Hello NFP Community!!  My name is Ron Gerdes, and I am the PE Teacher at North Forest Pines.
I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA.  I am a huge sports fan- the Steelers (NFL), Penguins (NHL), and UNC (college) are my favorites.  This will be my 27th year of teaching.  I taught in Las Vegas before moving to NC in 2004.  I am one of the original staff members at NFP from when our school opened in 2007.
I am married to Mrs. Gerdes (second grade teacher at NFP).  We have two daughters- Jordyn (20) and Madison (18).  I like to run, play with our dog, and spend time with my family in my spare time.  I enjoy teaching my students about movement, exercise, sports, and healthy habits.  NFP also has a school run club that I started, and I lead the First-in- Fitness Team each spring.  I am looking forward to working with our Falcons this school year!!
