My name is Douglas Puls and I am finishing my 3rd year as Hope's principal. I teach religion for grades 3 and 4.

Hope Christian School has been a blessing to my family and me. When I accepted God's call here three year's ago, I knew that I was prepared to give all I had into providing the best education possible for our students. The faculty has been very supportive and works well together. The students have been a pleasure to teach and I enjoy watching, as they appear to grow right before your eyes! The volunteers here at Hope Lutheran Church and Christian School love their Lord and love this place.   Their countless hours of dedicated service are very inspiring to my family and me.

This year (2008) marks my twenty-first year in Lutheran Education. I have taught at a Lutheran School on Long Island and in a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education and a Lutheran Teacher's Diploma from Concordia College in Bronxville, NY. I earned my Master of Arts degree in Educational Administration from Concordia University Wisconsin.   I enjoy taking day trips with my family, collecting sports memorabilia and ceramic items stamped “Made in Occupied Japan.” I am also a big sports fan.
