Thank you for visiting. My name is Laurence Munnikhuysen and I am an English teacher with Norfolk Public Schools. I have been teaching at Ruffner Middle School for over 5 years now. Go Bulldogs! My previous schools are Commonwealth Challenge in Virginia Beach, and Passage Middle School in Newport News. I was born and raised in Newport News, and this is were I earned my teaching certification. I am licensed in English through VDOE in grades 6-12.
