Mike Czuboka moved to Rivers with his parents and two brothers when he was four years old. He was educated at Rivers School for Grades 1-11 and took Grade 12 at Brandon College (now Brandon University). In 1950 he enlisted in the army’s special force, a contingent that was being raised for the Korean War, where he served for a year. He left the army four years later when he pursued more education and ultimately, became a teacher himself (after he earned two bachelor degrees, which he later upgraded to master degrees). What started as a teaching position at Brandon’s Neelin High School turned into a principalship in the 1960s and ultimately, superintendent of Agassiz School Division (1969-90). He was also president of Manitoba Association of School Superintendents. He was a university history teacher and his students at University of Manitoba described him as “outstanding” in their written evaluations.
