Hello! My name is James Young, and this is my 1st year at Dakota Ridge High School. I'm excited to be an Eagle. This is my 18th year teaching, and I'm thrilled to be heading up the theatre program this year.

When not teaching, I work as a professional actor at Adams Mystery Playhouse, and I also love spending time with my wife Nicole and our almost four-year-old daughter Kara. I enjoy reading, writing, running, Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek, The Beatles, and driving my convertible with the top down when the weather is nice.

Let's have a great year!
