Mary Jakel, an assistant in one of our SPED classrooms, has been working with students for over 20 years. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her families and friends. Her favorite food is ice cream and she is a grandma of seven! What she enjoys most about working with students is making a difference in each kid's life and the impact she has had on them everyday. Thanks so much Mrs. Jakel, for the dedication and love you show your students. We are truly blessed to have you at HMS
Lindsay Felchner, our school psychologist, has been working with students at HMS for 4 years now. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, especially her new nephew! She also loves being outside enjoying the wonderful fall weather! Ms. Felchner loves BBQ pulled pork and (pink) Starbursts! One thing you may not know about Ms. Felchner is that her grandma is one of the most important people in her life! She talks to her everyday and she has been like a second mom to her throughout her whole life. The best thing about working at HMS is working with and helping students from all different grade levels. She loves seeing students overcome challenges, accomplish their goals, develop confidence, and persevere even when the days are tough! Thanks so much Ms. Felchner for all that you do to help our kids succeed.
Chris Frey ,“supreme overlord” and “master” of 6 Red Social Studies, as his students call him, has been teaching for 6 years. In his spare time he enjoys playing sports, watching movies, and playing games with his kids and friends. Mr. Frey’s favorite food is Sushi and his favorite candy is Whatchamacallit. Something you may not know about Mr. Frey is that he is a pretty decent Skater. What he enjoys most about teaching is, “the money, the fame, and tormenting the children with his sense of humor.” Ha! Ha! Thank you Mr. Frey for all of your hard work and dedication to making Social Studies fun and challenging!
Sharon Schmitz has been teaching for over 22 years at HMS, serving as our 8th grade science teacher on Team 8 Red. In her spare time she enjoys Teaching yoga, running, walking, biking, hiking, and swimming. She also enjoys spending time with her family, especially her five but soon-to-be six grandkids. Mrs. Schmitz loves being outdoors enjoying nature especially when sitting on her back patio in the morning drinking her morning coffee. Dots are her favorite candy but she also enjoys anything with dark chocolate. Something you may not know about Mrs. Schmitz is that she can sing! What she enjoys most about teaching is seeing her students have those ah ha moments being creative and solving problems with projects in her classroom. Thanks Mrs. Schmitz for all of your hard work.
