 Mr. Cunningham taught at Mumford High School in Detroit from 2014-2019 before joining Huron. The majority of his time at Mumford was spent teaching Algebra I.

 Mr. Cunningham believes sports, extracurricular activities and clubs help a school truly become a community.

 Before becoming a math teacher, Mr. Cunningham worked as a journalist, including from 2009-2014 at the Ann Arbor News/MLive. Mr. Cunningham was always torn between writing and teaching, and during his time as a sportswriter was inspired by the many teachers and coaches he wrote stories about who were making a positive impact in the community.
