My name is John Seymour. I am a Business Marketing Information & Technology (BMIT) teacher. I graduated high school in 2013 from North Bend Central High School. I attended The University of Nebraska- Lincoln and graduated in May of 2018 with my Bachelor's Degree in Education with an Endorsement in BMIT.
I was born in Omaha, Nebraska. My family moved and built a house in the country just outside Morse Bluffs when I was four years old. My mom, Robin, works as a paraprofessional in the Special Education department at North Bend Central. My dad, John, works at Taylor and Martin Ag. in Fremont. They are dedicated to each other and making sure our family is safe, healthy and happy! I am the middle child of three. I have two siblings - an older sister and a younger brother. My sister is starting her fifth year of teaching as a third grade teacher at Omaha Public Schools. My brother is a freshman at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln.
Some things I enjoy doing when I'm not teaching are traveling, reading books, playing sports, trying new restaurants, visiting family, and spending time with my friends.
