John Roger Eggers, Ed.D.

I am proud to say I have spent 60 years teaching (1964-2024). I am a former Peace Corps volunteer in Uruguay, taught in Iran and in the inner city of North Camden, NJ, and on the reservations of northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. I have been a graduate assistant, university professor, high school principal, charter school director, and K-12 teacher. I have authored nearly 2000 columns on education and written 25 books. I currently write columns for four newspapers. I also teach for the Peace Corps Volunteer Service Pilot. I work weekly with teacher educators in Ethiopia. In recent years I have also worked with students and teachers in Guatemala, Columbia, Ukraine, and the Republic of Georgia. I am the founder of Project Graduate, which aims for a 100% high school graduation rate for students, consuming most of my time and writing. Four times a week, I teach 10th and 11th graders in a class called “HOPE.” The class aims to help the students graduate from high school. To this end, I serve as a volunteer for the Red Lake Nation and as a board member for the Voyageurs Expeditionary Charter School. My wife, Kathy, and I live on the shores of Lake Julia, north of Bemidji, MN. Thank you for supporting our 100% movement! Please get in touch with me if you would like to learn more about how you can graduate 100% of your students.
