Meet High School Special Education Teacher Tricia Vohs! 🌟
She recently moved from northwest Iowa to our area and is grateful for the support of her three kids: Jared, Emma, and Gavin
Tricia enjoys spending time with family, tailgating, gathering for Sunday meals, and relaxing outdoors. When she is not teaching, you might find her at the lake, working in her yard, or soaking up the sun. ☀️
This is her first year teaching at the high school level after years in elementary and middle school. She has loved connecting with students, joining in traditions like homecoming, and being part of the Norsemen community.
Welcome, Tricia—we’re so glad you’re here! 🎉

September is College Savings Month! Starting a college fund while your child is young gives you the power of time and compound interest. Even small amounts can grow significantly over the years with consistent savings. 🌱
It’s never too early to start saving for the future!
