About Me

My name is Duane Becker.  I grew up in Northeast Nebraska on a farm.  I moved down to Lincoln to attain my college degree at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  My first and only teaching job has been at Pyrtle.  I taught fourth grade for seven years.  I then moved to teaching third grade and have been teaching there since.  I stay busy spending time with my wife and four kids.  I enjoy spending time outdoors and playing basketball.
