Bob Duckels and his wife Kristy were born and raised in Carlinville. We are both proud graduates of Carlinville High School. We have three sons: Mason (CHS Class of 2022), Tate (Class of 2026) and Callum (Class of 2029). We come from a tradition of Carlinville educators on both sides of the family and fifteen years ago decided to move back home so our boys could be educated here. We are so happy we did!
