High School Secretary
I've been everything from elementary secretary to special ed para, and right now my main job is as Minatare's High school secretary. I'm also the varsity cheerleading sponsor and student council sponsor. My favorite job here is cheerleading sponsor. I've been lucky enough to have some really great groups of girls to work with, including this year's squad, who have been a lot of fun so far. I'm also a free-lance writer and photographer for the Gering Courier. I try to get as much press for us as I can since I think we have a really great school with wonderful students, teachers, and staff.
Likes: Rooting for the Minatare Indians, Dr. Pepper, Halloween, Husker football and volleyball, and funky watches.
Dislikes: Getting the mail after 3 day weekends, the ever-growing pile of lost-and-found junk in my office, 100-degree weather, and insidious patches of black ice in the parking lot.
Principal and Athletic Director
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Education with a double major in Biology and Chemistry from Chadron State College in 1988. I taught Chemistry, Geometry and Basic Computer Programming at Sidney Public High School from the fall of 1988 through the spring of 1992. From the fall of 1992 through the spring of 2009, I took up residence in my hometown of Gordon, NE.
During my 17 years with Gordon/Gordon-Rushville Public Schools I taught Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Anatomy & Physiology, Geometry, and Journalism/Yearbook. I coached three sports every year, at various levels, during my 21 year teaching career. Those coaching duties included Football, Girls and Boys Basketball, Track and Golf.
In May of 2008 I graduated from Chadron State College with my Master's Degree in Educational Administration and accepted the Principal/Activities Director position with Minatare Public Schools in the spring of 2009.I am currently a member of the NCSA, NASSP, and NSIAAA. Minatare Public Schools, along with the community of Minatare, has proven to be a great educational institution in which to further my personal goals of providing a challenging and positive educational experience for kids.
