What have you taught before? I was a 6-12 grade social studies teacher and an assistant principal for a PK-12 school.
What year did you start at JCN? 2017
Why did you choose JCN? I choose JCN for the atmosphere and location. It is a small community within commuting distance to Topeka for my wife’s job. Nortonville is where my grandmother lived when I was a kid and I have fond memories from childhood of this area.
