David Volke

Liberty MS
ASB Adviser
Area 4 Rep

I am in my 9th year of education, spending the last seven years at Liberty Middle School in Camas, WA. I currently teach 6th grade language arts and social studies, as well as being the ASB Advisor and Kindness Club Advisor. On top of teaching, I have coached basketball, track, Knowledge Bowl, MUN, and various intramurals, as I believe it is important to work with students outside the classroom. My loving wife of nearly 14 years and two amazing daughters are my guiding force in life, always supporting me in my efforts to improve myself and my understanding of all things education. I am a CharacterStrong and AWSL advocate, a TC for Camp Columbia, and I strive to make education about the whole child.
