Hello, my name is Nathan Ruz. I teach 6th and 7th grade and this is my second year as a full-time teacher. I’m passionate about helping students grow both in the classroom and in life. In addition to teaching, I also coach basketball, football, and soccer. Coaching gives me the opportunity to push students to be their best — to compete, work hard, and build character. I'm excited to begin another great year here at Bowie!
