Kati Birhanzl is the third person on our staff to become a certified Trust Edge coach. Dave Vik and Vera Weber are also certified Trust Edge coaches. Trust Edge is a concept that uses 8 pillars to build positive culture in organizations based on Trust. Our administrative team has spent two years working through the "trust pillars" and our school board discusses a pillar at each meeting. Everything of value is built on Trust! Congratulations on this achievement, Kati!

Meet our new staff! Help us give Gabby Mazer, School Counselor, a warm welcome to the Montevideo High School and the community.
Gabby attended the University of Northern Iowa for a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a Minor in Spanish. She attended the University of Mary for a Master’s in Counseling with a concentration in School Counseling. She worked as a K-12 School Counselor in North Dakota for two years before moving to Montevideo this summer.
Gabby and her husband have two dogs and a newborn baby. In her free time, she enjoys being with her family and dogs, being outdoors, reading books, and traveling. The most important thing for Gabby to accomplish this school year is to create a strong bond with both the staff and students in the school. She looks forward to being available for students to help make decisions about their future, and she is excited to be an active member of the Montevideo Public School District and the community.

Meet Huy Tran! Huy joins us as the Grades 5-12 Vocal Instructor. He received a B.A. in Music and Secondary Education from the University of Minnesota-Morris. He completed his student teaching at Morris Area Schools and Willmar Senior High School. Huy enjoys spending time with his partner, friends and his dog named Raven. He also enjoys traveling and learning about space & the universe in his free time.
Huy looks forward to creating connections with students and staff, and he wants to make sure that his students not only have a productive learning experience in class, but also a fun and memorable time. Huy was instantly drawn to Montevideo because he had always heard that Montevideo has an amazing music program with a strong culture and a close and supportive community.
We are excited to introduce a great group of new teachers joining our team and community this year. Join us in giving them a warm Thunder Hawk welcome!
Meet Isaac Schreiner! Isaac will be teaching Social Studies at the Montevideo High School. He received a degree in Social Studies Education at MSUM in 2020 and completed his first year of teaching at Brandon/Evansville High School. Both of Isaac's parents are educators, so he grew up with a front row seat to the education field. Isaac likes to travel and anything to do with the outdoors. He is also an avid Minnesota sports fan!
The most important thing Isaac would like to accomplish this school year is to create a positive, safe and comfortable learning environment for his students. He is looking forward to joining the coaching staff of the Thunder Hawk swimming programs.
