Abby is starting her first year as a school SLP with us this year. A graduate of Fort Zumwalt South High School, she earned her bachelor's degree from Mizzou, and her master's degree from Maryville University. For Abby, the best part of her job is seeing the kids succeed!
Outside of school, she loves playing volleyball and spending time with her mini Bernedoodle, Anya.
Please help us welcome Ms. Sophie Stuart, new kindergarten teacher at Kirksville Primary School!
Sophie comes home to the district as a proud graduate of KHS and Culver-Stockton, where she earned her bachelor's degree in early childhood education. This year marks her first year as a classroom teacher! For Sophie, the best part of teaching is the opportunity to build relationships that allow her students to learn and grow to their highest potential.
Outside of the classroom, she stays active in the district as our assistant high school softball coach!
Please help us welcome Ms. Noel Koch, new first grade teacher at Kirksville Primary School!
Noel joins the district after teaching elementary school in Dubuque, Iowa, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She earned both her bachelor's degree in elementary education and her master's from Clarke University. Noel's favorite part of teaching is forming strong bonds with her students and watching them grow throughout the year.
Outside of school, Noel loves spending time with her boyfriend and walks with her dog. In her free time, she also enjoys hanging out with friends, traveling to new places, playing golf, and reading a book outside.
Tori is originally from Fort Zumwalt and moved to the area to attend Truman State, where she has earned her bachelor’s degree and is currently working toward her master’s. Having previously served as a substitute teacher for Kirksville Schools, she is excited to step into her first official year in the classroom. What Tori loves most about teaching is that no two days are ever the same, giving her opportunities to stay creative and keep learning genuinely engaging.
When she isn't in the classroom or focusing on her studies, Tori loves spending time with family, friends, and her corgi, Trippy.
