Meet our Print Room Assistant for the school district, Chanda Norby!
Hello! My name is Chanda Norby. I am a Montevideo graduate (Class of ‘94, the last of the Mohawks!). I work in the district’s print room and do printing for all six school buildings in the district. Along with my job in the print room, I also worked as a testing proctor for the NWEA's, MCA’s, and the ACT's for 9 years. I live on a farm outside of Milan with my husband of 25 years, Jason. We have three children, Cale (19), Jessa(17), and Ty (17). Outside of work I enjoy reading, traveling, spending time with my family, and cheering on my kids in their activities.
We are proud to have Chanda on our team!

Montevideo High School would like to thank the students and parents who attended the Career Fair last night. Without the generous donations from our 2024 Featured Partners: Friendship Homes, Minnwest Bank, and Southwest Initiative Foundation, this would not be possible. La Plazita and their talented crew provided a delicious meal to the attendees.
We cannot forget our amazing staff who work tirelessly to make sure this event comes together. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Meet Danielle, Administrative Assistant at the Montevideo High School!
Hi! My name is Danielle James. I spent my childhood living in Maryland, then later moving to Delaware. I moved to Montevideo in February 2020. While spending nearly twenty exciting years in the restaurant industry, I have found my career in Montevideo Schools the most rewarding and enjoyable. I have a 10-year-old stepdaughter, two snuggly dogs, and my husband Steven at home. I enjoy cooking, football, visiting my favorite place (Chesapeake City, MD), and crafting with my stepdaughter.
We're proud to have Danielle on our team! #Hawk Pride #StaffSpotlight

We are excited to welcome Tanya Maethner to Montevideo Public Schools!
Hello! My name is Tanya Maethner, and I am the principal at Montevideo High School. I'm happily married to my husband Kurt, and we have one daughter Addison, who is a freshman at the University of North Dakota. We added to our family by hosting four exchange students over the past ten years: Jannis (25), Mika (23), Luciana (18) and Lena (17). It's always been my plan to become a principal! One of my favorite aspects of education is getting to know high school students and watching them as they become their adult selves. I'm enjoying getting to know the students at MHS and the families in the district.
Welcome to the Thunder Hawk family, Tanya!
