Mr. Riley Litzenburg, an assistant in our SDEP program, is new to education this year and we are excited to have him on our team. In Mr. Litzenburg’s spare time he enjoys watching sports, hunting, hanging out with friends, and playing fetch with his dog. His favorite foods include nachos, pizza, BBQ, steak, Twix, and Reeses. What he enjoys most about working with students is making connections that have a lasting impact on their success. Thanks so much for all that you do, Mr. Litzenburg!
Mrs. Emily Ham, our 6 Black language arts teacher, has been teaching for over 5 years. In her spare time she enjoys reading, watching sports, going to the theater, and singing. Some of her favorites include Lion’s Choice and Reeses. One thing you may not know about Mrs. Ham is that she is an amazing singer. What she enjoys most about teaching is working with her students and getting to know them. Thanks Mrs. Ham for all that you do to help our kids grow!
Mrs. Angie Hartlieb, our 8 Red Math teacher, has been in education for 20 years. She enjoys spending time with family and housework. Some of Mrs. Hartlieb's favorites are laffy taffy and sour patch straws. Something you may not know about her is that she loves to sing. Mrs. Hartlieb loves working with HMS students because she loves watching adolescents become the people they are through education! There is nothing much better than being part of building confidence and helping students understand something they didn't think they could do. Thanks Mrs. Hartlieb for helping out kids succeed not only academically but also socially and emotionally.
Mrs. Deb Holcmann, our administrative assistant, has been involved in education since 1987 for the Highland School District. In her spare time, she loves being with family, scrapbooking, walking, bocce ball, and baking. Some of her favorites are Pepsi and PayDay candy bars. Something that you may not know about Mrs. Holcmann, is that she lived in a Ski Chalet in the UP in Michigan. She really enjoys working with middle school students because they are always willing to help out. Mrs. Holcmann has been the heart of HMS for such a long time. She will be retiring at the end of this semester. We sure are going to miss her! Thanks for everything Mrs. Holcmann.
