STUDENT TEACHERS. Valley Heights High School is welcoming two student teachers from Kansas State University for this spring semester.
Mrs. Turner and Mr. Nolte are mentoring Ms. CJ Tate for math classes. Ms.Tate is most excited for “Being up at the front in school, while also learning from the students.” The arrival of Ms. Tate also marks the first student teacher for Mrs. Turner and third for Mr. Nolte. Mrs. Turner says, “I am thrilled to have Ms. Tate join my classroom. She has already shown to care about students and be very knowledgeable in her field. I am excited to have her teaching the class soon.”
Miss Ella Pachta is teaching ag classes mentored by Ms. Husband. “I’m most excited about taking things I’ve learned at K-State and using them in class.” Miss Pachta graduated from Republic County High School. Ms. Husband says, “I am very excited to be hosting Miss Pachta this spring in the Ag Department! I'm looking forward to seeing all the things she learns and how she grows on her journey in agriculture education. She is already doing a great job making connections with students and preparing lessons!”
Student teachers bring new ideas and energy, making their time at the high school helpful and meaningful to everyone at the school. We are excited to see how these student teachers will evolve throughout the rest of the year.
