✨Welcome to the BCA: Meet Kyle Rousey!
Kyle will be teaching Heavy Equipment Repair and Operation (HERO) at the Bloomington Career Academy (BCA) this year!
Throughout his life, Kyle has always idolized instructors who were able to create a connection between their students and the curriculum while showing genuine care in every aspect—and promoting a driven, hardworking mindset. He believes the best way to ensure teachers like that continue to make an impact on the younger generation is to become one of them.
This year, he’s most excited about watching his students dive into heavy equipment repair and operation—but even more so, seeing them discover something new about themselves along the way.
On top of teaching, Kyle is also a proud coach for BHS Football and Baseball (Go Raiders!). A United States Marine who enlisted right after high school, Kyle currently serves in the Marine Corps Reserves. In his free time, he enjoys building engines and spending quality time with his pets 🐾.
Welcome to your new role, Kyle! We’re thrilled to have you connecting with students and inspiring the next generation of HEROes. 💪
