In a testament to the unwavering commitment and teamwork of the educators at Gothenburg Public Schools, two experienced and dedicated teachers have stepped up to fill important roles for the remainder of the school year, ensuring our students continue to receive the best possible education.
Mrs. Lori Long, a veteran educator with more than a decade of experience in teaching English, has graciously agreed to extend her support to our school community. Mrs. Long will take the reins of the freshman and sophomore classes, teaching Strength/Survival and Young Adult Literature, as well as Career English 11. Her passion for teaching and wealth of experience will undoubtedly benefit our students as they continue on their educational journey.
Additionally, Mrs. Shauna Baker, another remarkable member of our teaching staff, has agreed to take on the role of teaching Analytical English 12. Her dedication to academic excellence and the growth of our students makes her the perfect fit for this essential role.
Our administrative team would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Lori Long and Mrs. Shauna Baker for their selfless commitment to our students and their readiness to take on these crucial responsibilities. It is through their dedication and the remarkable spirit of our educators that our students continue to be in good hands.
Additionally, we would like to thank Mrs. Mary Clark and Mrs. Julie Rickertsen who have jumped in to ensure a smooth transition over the past several weeks as well as Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Beavers who have spent countless hours ensuring a smooth transition for students in those classes.
The willingness of Mrs. Long and Mrs. Baker to step up is a testament to the strength of our school community and the care we have for our students' academic success.
Over the next few weeks we will work to fill the media center position to ensure a smooth transition there as well.
Thank you to each of our staff members who have prioritized student learning and well-being during a difficult period of time. We are truly better together!
