Our next staff member has a history of excellence in our school. She is a word wizard and prose princess teaching 8-12 English. The thing most may not know about her is she is an adrenaline junky, competing in Spartan races, riding the sand dunes in a side by side and playing in the powder on her snow machine with her husband. Kari Leibel is a committed, student-driven educator who makes amazing connections with students. So much so she is teaching next to staff she molded into excellent teachers by being there for them as students. She is also an advocate of student's extracurriculars by attending and encouraging students events. We are fortunate to have Mrs. Leibel in our school.
Adding a different type of celebration. It has been an effort by Head Coach Rodger Shroyer to get lights out up on the Football field. When it says it takes a village it is true. There are many to thank and if anyone is forgotten please contact the school to be included. It is through generous donations, time and work that the lights are shining now. Fisher Electric, Catlin Ranch, Steel Etc, Bill Galt, Shane Sereday, Hill Family, Northwestern Energy, Outback power, Company, Greco Family, Bodell Family, John Michaelson, Rodger Shroyer, and Steven Blair have all been instrumental in the installation.
