🔶🔷 Throwback Thursday – Nate Petelin 🔷🔶 Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog! 🐾 Nate Petelin, Class of 1999, is back in the halls of Livonia, inspiring the next generation of innovators and leaders! He teaches: 🛩 AE - Aerospace Engineering 🏗 CEA - Civil Engineering & Architecture 📐 DDP - Design & Drawing for Production 💻 DE - Digital Electronics 🧠 EDD - Engineering Design & Development 🧪 6th Grade STEM 🎓 CCDM - College & Career Decision Making In addition to the classroom, he’s also the Defensive Coordinator for Football and the Technical Director for the Musical! 🏈🎭 Here’s what he had to say about returning to Bulldog Country: “There are not many professions that allow you to work with former mentors and people who helped to shape you into who you are—these individuals that you now call colleagues and friends; and at the same time allows you the opportunity to try to return the favor by doing the same to their children.” We’re proud to have Mr. Petelin back where it all started—making a difference and carrying on the legacy of Bulldog Pride! 🐾
