Mr. Jim Lindberg
This year marks Mr. Lindberg's 25th year as a teacher at Charlotte High School. During his time at CHS, he has taught all grade levels, but has spent most of his career teaching Juniors.
A native of Minnesota, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in English Education from Bemidji State University in 2000.
In addition to teaching English III and English III Honors, he also coaches the CHS Swimming and Diving team as well as the CCS BlueFins (a year-round age-group swim team). Away from school, he enjoys hitting the road on his 2016 Harley-Davidson Road Glide and is also an avid hunter and fisherman. He is a fan of all Minnesota sports teams, especially the Vikings and Twins.

Classroom Expectations:
I believe in being fair. You can expect fair treatment from me, but in return, I expect the same from you. In my opinion, as Juniors at Charlotte High School, you should already know how to conduct yourselves in the classroom. With this in mind, my policies are simple. They are:
- Come to class with a great attitude, and be ready to learn.
- Respect others. Treat them the way you would like to be treated.
- Be on time for class and have all books and materials with you.
- Raise your hand and wait for permission to speak.
- Listen while others are speaking, and don’t interrupt.
Have fun, enjoy this class, and let’s make your Junior year your best yet!
