One of the many things his students would be surprised to learn about him, is that he is one of 10 siblings. He and his wife have one daughter, Christena Voigt and five grandchildren. For Mr. Culver, a good day at school is when he gets a lot of stuff done and has a chance to visit with a student or teacher, and when nobody gets mad at him. An accomplishment that fills him with pride is that we started theschoolyearfullystaffed. When asked what current trend that is baffling him, he answered “How on either side of politics people argue so much, and instead of just disagreeing,theyhateeachother”.

He hopes the students know he has their best interest at heart, and cares about them. The wisdom he would pass on to his students is be willing to work hard and do their best, because it will pay off in the long run; and to always make sure to thank the people that helped you. If he were to choose a favorite decade, he stated, “I would like to stay in the decade I was born in, which was the 60’s and 70’s”.
