Welcome to Mr. Vanden Berg's US History and A.P. European History class website. You will find helpful information and assignments on this site. As well as a little about me.
I am excited to be starting my first year teaching and coaching at Sparta High School. Previously I spent 9 years at Comstock Park High School. I have lived in the West Michigan area my entire life. I graduated from South Christian High School and earned my bachelor's degree from Grand Valley State University. My wife graduated from Michigan State University (which we try not to hold against her) and is a Vet Technician at Cascade Hospital for Animals. We have three Sons, Max, who is 4 years old and twin boys Ace and Ike who are 2. I am starting my first year coaching varsity football at the high school. Previously I coached for 6 years at Comstock Park as the Assistant Head coach and at South Christian for 9 years. One of my greatest passions is tournament bass fishing, I am usually out on the water from ice off to ice up. I have been the tournament director for a number of different Bass Tournament circuits in West Michigan and love sharing my passion for bass fishing and the outdoors.
