Education Leaders Program / Dan Armstrong

"I want to be so good at what I do that they will have to hire me for the job."

As director of T-Wolf Productions at Lake City High School in Coeur d’Alene, Dan Armstrong strives to make others’ vision become reality through graphic design, video production, and large-format printing. Armstrong believes that to meet the demands of such a rigorous graphics program, he must help students acquire highly developed skills in their trade and the dedication to do things right.

Armstrong graduated from Idaho State University’s College of Education, Business Education, where he was nominated for the outstanding student award. During his college studies, he was elected the national president of Business Professionals of America (BPA), the leading career technical student organization for students pursuing careers in business management, office administration, information technology, and other related career fields. He helped plan its National Leadership Conference in New York City while serving on the board of trustees.

Later, Armstrong earned a master's degree in Media Design and Technology from Full Sail University online. Today, he can be found with his students working in his classroom, trying to solve technical problems and working on BPA projects. He achieves success with almost any software, but his favorites are Adobe® InDesign®, Illustrator®, Photoshop®, and Acrobat®.

When Armstrong is not at work he enjoys being a dad, a varsity scout team coach, and a gardener.
