School starts next Tuesday for most students in Petersburg. A few new teachers are joining the Petersburg School District this year.
Jill Lenhard will be teaching in Petersburg this year, but she isn’t exactly new to the district. She’s returning after a year away. She taught at the district for 20 years – high school English, elementary reading, and a year as the elementary librarian. Last year she left to teach in Ketchikan, joining her husband who was already there teaching music. Their family had long planned to move to Ketchikan to be with Jill Lenhard’s aging parents. But as she told KFSK’s Hannah Flor, the job in Ketchikan didn’t last.
Meet new fourth grade teacher Alice Williams here, and new second grade teacher Noelle Bell here.
