Hello, my name is Ryan Tri, and I am excited to be teaching here at Eden Valley-Watkins schools.  I have been teaching at Eden Valley-Watkins since 2017.  It is exciting to have the opportunity to be a part of the great school district and communities we have here.  

After graduation from EV-W, I pursued my degree at Central Lakes Community College in Brainerd and St. Cloud State University, where I earned my degree in Social Studies Education.  I have also taught at two other schools throughout the state and serve as an Assistant Football Coach here at Eden Valley-Watkins. 

I will be teaching World History, Contemporary History, American Government and Physical Education.  History is a great tool for students to see how the world and country has changed, and also how it continues to change.  As the famous quote states, “those who cannot learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.”

My wife and our three children reside in Watkins.  When not teaching, I enjoy spending time on the lake, going to and watching football games, and just spending time with family.
