I began teaching as the Jr. High/High School Vocal Teacher February of 2019 in an emergency capacity. I have been the JR/SR High Choir Teacher ever since.  I was subbing for this school district prior to this. 

I teach 3 Jr. High Choirs, Chamber Singers, Mixed Chorus, and a Voice Class.

This is my first time teaching in a school. I have been teaching in a church for almost 15 years. I have been teaching primarily Jr High and High School students the last 15 years. I have mentored a group of high school girls the last 9 years. I also have helped teach our 4 years-6^th grade Roots program. I was responible for leading small group discussion, mentoring students, helping lead youth worship, and teaching lessons for the whole youth group. 

I am happily married to my husband Chris Goetz since January 3, 2004. We have 3 wonderful children who all attend schools here in Garnett. Hope is a freshman, MaKenna is in 7^th grade, and Malakai is in 5^th grade. Our son, Joel is in heaven. We have 3 pets: 2 dogs (Silas and Chloe) and 1 cat (Jael).
