My name is Donovon Flaherty, I graduated from Ellendale High School in Ellendale, ND in 2011. After high school, I was fortunate enough to play college football at Trinity Bible College where I majored in Elementary Education with a minor in Coaching. While at Trinity I met my wife Jessica, we have been happily married for 5 years and have 5 children: Michael, Cleveland, Abraham, Ezekiel, and McKenna

This is my third year teaching for the Mobridge-Pollock School District and sixth year teaching overall. I began my teaching career at the Hitchcock-Tulare School District, teaching grades 4th - 8th at a German Hudderite Colony. Since moving to Mobridge, I have been the 6th - 8th grade Math teacher. Along with teaching I am an assistant varsity football coach, weightroom supervisor, and head coach for the local legion baseball program as well as being a certified foster parent.

When not in school, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children. In the Flaherty household we love the sports of football, basketball, and baseball through watching and playing . Personally, some of my hobbies are reading, weightlifting, watching Star Wars or Marvel movies, and playing video games.
