About Mr. Hardenburg

My name is Alan Hardenburg. I am the new 4th grade teacher here at Sacred Heart.  This may be my first year as a classroom teacher, but I have many years of experience volunteering with youth as a Catechist and as an assistant baseball coach.  For two years at Saint Lawrence Elementary in Lafayette, I worked as an Interventionist, a fancy name for tutor.  In this position, I helped teach individual and small groups of students ranging from grade levels K to 5.  Saint Lawrence is also where I completed my student teaching in a fifth grade classroom. I have been a substitute teacher at different elementary grade levels including 5 weeks maternity leave for kindergarten.

My family and I live in West Lafayette.  Christine and I just celebrated 27 years of marriage last May.  Our only son, Nathan, is 14 years old and is a Freshman at Central Catholic.  Go Knights!

I was raised in the Methodist tradition, attended RCIA and converted to Catholicism at the Easter Vigil in 2009.  I have an entertaining story to share about having our marriage blessed in the Catholic Church, and a profound story to share about the choice of my saint confirmation name, but those will have to wait for some other time.

Whether coaching or teaching, I enjoy working with young people and helping them to develop their potential.  I am excited to have this opportunity at Sacred Heart.  I look forward to getting to know and serve both you and your children.
