Welcome / Bienvenidos - Mrs. Schulte's Home Page
Hello! ¡Hola!
I have been teaching World Languages at Horizon Middle School since 1996. I teach 6th grade:Passports, 7th grade:Introduction to Spanish and 8th grade:Spanish 1. I grew up in South Dakota and graduated from South Dakota State University. After moving to Nebraska from Kansas, I furthered my education at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. I received the 2014 Spanish Teacher of the Year award by the Nebraska Association of Teachers of Spanish. My husband Dan and I have 4 daughters who are all proud alumnae of Kearney High School. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, walking, taking pictures and traveling to spend time with my kids and grand kids.
For me, the best part of teaching is seeing my students' progress and excitement with learning languages. Every day is a new adventure!
