Ms. Alexander I'm Nancy Alexander. This is my second year here at SHMS. I'm very glad to be here! I think ART ROCKS! Creating and teaching art is tremendous fun for me. I'm a people person and I love to work with kids! My family and I enjoy reading, the outdoors, and fishing, especially up north. My husband, 18-year-old son, and I live with our two cuddly Springer Spaniels. Brownie is smart and sweet, and Elskan (Icelandic for "Dear One") is a naughty little darling. |
Mr. Blaine Hello, I'm Kerry Blaine. I will be teaching House 62 students during Trimester 1 for Tech-Ed. Welcome! |

Ms. Hoffmann My name is Jane Hoffmann and I teach American Studies 6, Study Skills 6, and General Music 6. My family consists of my husband and our two dogs, Bingo and Baily.This will be my 25th year of teaching at Scott Highlands. Yes, I’m that old! When I ‘m not teaching, I sing professionally, write books for children (31 published so far), and I’m working on a children’s novel about animals living in a science lab at an elementary school. See you in class! |
Mrs. Hovde My name is Colleen Hovde and I teach English 6 and Reading 6. I live in Apple Valley with my husband and our twin fourth graders. This is my fifth year teaching at SHMS and I just love it here. Our family is very involved in Eastview athlectics as both kids play in a number of sports. This fall and winter we will be spending quite a bit of time at the hockey arena – a sport we all enjoy. When I have some time to myself I enjoy reading, golfing, and spending time catching up with friends at Caribou.

Mrs. King Hi! I’m Susan King, Gifted and Talented Coordinator at Scott Highlands Middle School who, as a former English and communications teacher, has now spent the last 13 years serving the needs of our gifted, talented, and exceptionally conscientious adolescents at Scott Highlands Middle School. After leaving my dream job each day, I’m blessed to go home to a wonderful husband and children who are now grown, out of the home and raising families of their own. Of special importance to me presently are my three grand daughters with two more on the way next year; incidentally, by June 2009, I will have five grandchildren under the age of three! Zowie! I also enjoy theater, dance, music, pilates and yoga. A favorite novel of mine is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn; and, lastly, a professional quote that speaks for me from the heart is: “No significant learning can take place without a significant relationship.” |
Mrs. Nickleby Hello, I am a Physical Education teacher here at SHMS. This is my first year of teaching at Scott Highlands Middle School, but I have taught Phy-Ed in many other school districts as well. I am excited to be here. |
Ms. TenClayHi, I'm Karla TenClay. I teach 6th grade Science and Math at Scott Highlands. In addition to teaching 6th grade, I also coach girls' soccer and plan the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade parties.
