ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Linda Hoekman
HOME GROWN!
Lifelong resident of Anoka County and blessed to come from a strong family, I am motivated by my father’s priorities of hard work and education. As such, my first job was at age 15 at the Anoka County Library where I could study between shelving books. I graduated with highest honors from Blaine High School and went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree from the College of St. Benedict in physical science education. Hired immediately after graduation at Champlin Park High School, I began teaching physics and chemistry. While working, I completed my Masters of Education from the College of St. Scholastica.
I met my husband Charley in Math class at Blaine High School and we have been married for 25 years. We live in Ramsey, MN where we raised our 3 children. I have served in the community as scout leader, religion teacher and coach for swimming, softball, volleyball and robotics and supervised Korean Dance Club (KPOP).
A THRIVING CAREER
I am a teacher and strong advocate for public education reform. My 25 years in public education at Champlin Park High School has exposed the inconsistencies and weaknesses of the education system. Every student deserves a world class education and I am working to make that a reality though education reform efforts such as the documentary “Whose Children Are They?” I currently teach chemistry and physics at a school in the west metro.
MISSION STATEMENT
Restoring Excellence, Freedom & Fairness
I am committed to restoring excellence, freedom, and fairness to our schools by working with parents to ensure our children are protected from violence and politicized instruction.
