Bremen High School Inducts Dean Dave Curtin Into Bremen Hall Of Fame

MIDLOTHIAN, IL - On Friday, September 29, 2023, Bremen High School held its annual Homecoming pep rally full of fun, and exciting moments for students and staff. One unforgettable moment occurred for Dean Dave Curtin, who was inducted into the Bremen High School Hall of Fame.

Dave graduated from Bremen in 1992, and was a dedicated multi-sport athlete for many years. He focused much of his athletic career on football, playing four years on varsity, and even served as team captain. He was also a two-year letter winner and a MAC conference champion at Ball State University.

Dave is a running enthusiast. To date, he has run over 52 ultra marathons, including 10 100+ mile races. He has participated in two incredible charity runs, one for a former teammate at Ball State, (Dave ran from his home in Munster, Indiana to Muncie, Indiana (170 miles), and another in honor of his late mother, Linda, (135 miles) to raise scholarship funds for District 228 students in the name of the Linda Curtin Memorial Scholarship.

Dave has been working in District 228 since 1999, and has been at Bremen High School since 2006. He is an incredible family man, colleague, mentor, and friend, who has dedicated his life to helping our young men and women become the best versions of themselves.

"Bremen has been a part of my life since 1979. So, this is truly an amazing honor. I have been lucky to have an amazing family that has challenged me and supported me," Curtin said. "Over the years I've had coaches, teachers, students, and colleagues that have also contributed to the man I've become. I'm a lucky man. I can't thank everyone enough for this honor."

Dave’s motto is to “Always be a better me,” and he certainly embodies this in all that he does. We Congratulate Dave, who is the most deserving of this recognition, and we were honored to induct him into the Bremen High School Alumni Hall of Fame this year.
