About Me:
Hello, my name is Bill Ruttenberg. I teach Social Studies in both the middle school and high school. I am married to Amber and I have two daughters, Crimson and Cadibelle. I graduated from Missouri Western in the Spring of 2004 and got my first job teaching at West Platte High School in Weston, Missouri. I enjoyed teaching and coaching there for two years. My wife and I were wanting to buy a house and she wanted to move back to her home town of Bedford, Iowa. So I got a job at Bedford Community Schools teaching both middle school and high school social studies. I am now in my 16th year at Bedford (18th overall) and I thoroughly enjoy it here. We have a great school that ranks very high in the state for our academic achievements. Our community is a very close knit group. We take pride in our school and our family centered community.
