Upon graduation from high school, Ms. Wacek attended Minnesota State University Moorhead.

Why did you pursue the career path you have chosen?  If I’m being honest, I wandered around without a major for the longest time, and my parents finally told me I had to pick a path or get a job.  My advisor suggested education, and I reluctantly took an introduction to education class.  While in the education building, I met a great guy and decided to keep taking education classes in the hopes that he’d notice me.  By the time I was halfway through a major in education, he asked me out on a date.  I ended up marrying him and finishing my degree!

What did you do before coming to NPHS?  I taught Spanish at NPMS for 15 years.

What have you enjoyed most about NPHS or what do you most look forward to here?  I enjoy seeing the middle schoolers that I met as 6th graders who have now grown into INCREDIBLE young adults!

If you could sit next to anyone on an airplane, who would it be and why?  I would sit next to my friend, Jenn.  She’s funny and we’d laugh the whole way.

If you had a warning label, what would yours say?  WARNING:  spontaneous napper 😉
