It is with great pride that I welcome you to New Holstein High School. Our building is home to over 390 students in grades nine through twelve and over 50 staff members as well.
In addition to the major subject areas of English, Math, Science, Social Studies, World Languages and Physical Education, students may opt to take classes in Art, Music,Agriculture, Family and Consumer Science, Technology, and Business. The variety of courses and levels of these courses are without fail the most impressive aspect of New Holstein High School.
Our dedicated faculty works incredibly hard to demonstrate exceptional teaching reflective of the best practice in education and also to provide as many extra help opportunities for students who are struggling and for students who wish to be challenged at higher levels. Some students can be found working with teachers well before first period, as well as throughout the day, after school, in the evenings and sometimes on weekends. Our teachers’ commitment to our students is what sets them apart from many other faculties across the state.
The New Holstein School District has always been a very special place to me. I moved here in 1998 and continue to live here as part of the community. As a member of the Community Chest, and a Board Member of the New Holstein Historical Society, I have had the great pleasure to work alongside many of the outstanding residents of the New Holstein School District. I served as assistant principal for four years, and I am currently entering my ninth year as principal. I have been fortunate to serve as an administrator at New Holstein High School.
I have learned many things during my 27 year career. Perhaps what is most important is the notion that everyone needs to feel connected to someone or something to be a productive member of that group. I see that come to fruition on a daily basis in my role as principal. Students are encouraged to find their passion and connect with the person or people who are involved with that activity. Our curriculum, course offerings, co- and extra-curricular offerings are second to none. We strive to create an environment where each and every student is given the attention necessary to achieve his/her individual success.
What has impressed me most though, is the maturity that our students demonstrate and the consistent theme of acceptance that is evident among our student body. We recognize that our school community is a microcosm of “the real world” and we understand that we must respect each other and learn to live together in peace and harmony. Our mission is to educate each and every student to better prepare him or her for the world beyond New Holstein High School and I feel that our students are well prepared.
I look forward to each day with optimism and enthusiasm as New Holstein High School, my home away from home is an outstanding place to work and play!
