IBCC students present their work

Mrs. Pederson (Ms. P.) joined the Roosevelt staff in 2008, and has tremendously enjoyed working with the students every year since!   She received her undergraduate degree in Home Economics/Family Life Education from the College of St. Scholastica, and a Master’s degree in Education from the University of Minnesota, both located in Duluth, Minnesota.  She teaches the Work Based learning courses, and coordinates the International Baccalaureate Career-Related Certificate (IBCC) program.

A lifelong Minnesota resident, Ms. P. actually graduated from Roosevelt High School—that is, Roosevelt Senior High in Virginia, MN!  With her two children grown, she and her husband enjoy spending weekends and free time at their cabin in northern Minnesota.
