Darrin Strosahl, Community EducationI believe community education helps unite the community as we share and learn together. People make a community by what they share and we invite you to participate in community education. As Superintendent, I oversee all aspects of the district, including community education. I am working on my CE Director licensure so I can help serve our district. As a district, we serve the community through community education by opening our facilities and providing classes to meet the needs of the community. As a district, we are involved in making our community stronger; join us by getting involved!

Alyssa Stewart, Community Education CoordinatorI am the new Community Education Coordinator. Something to know about me is I enjoy barrel racing and trailback riding. What I enjoy most about working in Community Ed is being able to work with so many different people from students, parents, staff, and community members!

Jill Nielsen, Administration Support & CommunicationMy spare time is occupied by traveling around watching my three sons wrestle. What I like the most about Community Ed is working with a great group of people to help create learning opportunities for all ages.
