Rick Denny will be coming back to teach math and Rachel Smith will be here to do part-time PE.

Christine Bachmeier will be with us again as our title 1 interventionist and testing coordinator. Sara Hughes and Amber Hungerford are our returning paraprofessionals. Sara will also be doing our guidance program, Character Strong, with the students. Julie Howell has been with us since last spring as our custodian, and the building as never looked so good! Chrystal Duvall will be in the office again this year doing secretary duties and back at the wheel as the best bus driver in the county! We are so please they have all decided to come back this fall!
Our tenured staff that has held our core together for so many years is amazing! Diane Gilbreaith, Tara Schumacher, Rachel Brown, and Erin Masura are all back for another great school year at Willow Creek.
