Hi,

I am Mr. Osterland. I was hired here in LPS in 1997. I started teaching at Franklin High School. Over the years I have taught science classes varying from Advanced Physics to Biology and students from ninth grade to twelfth grade. The 2019-2020 school year brought me to Emerson Middle School where I am teaching 8th-grade science. I am happy to be able to help the 8th-graders make their transition to 9th-grade. Currently; I have two cats, and a dog, however, that can change overnight. I live with my amazing wife and two sons who are in their early teens. I love to watch my boys play sports, fish, and travel.
