new teachers join Spencer middle/high teams

Hello, my name is Jared Klimmer and I’m the new Tech Ed teacher in Spencer. I’m a Spencer native who’s been part of the Rocket family as a coach for several years now and I’m excited to expand that relationship to teaching, too. Prior to this I was a draftsman for a local construction company where my skill set was grown both in the office and in the field. I’m eager to share this real life work experience with my students. I also enjoy my role here in Spencer as a first time cross country coach and a wrestling coach of over a decade. I live in Spencer with my wife and two sons. In my free time I enjoy camping, hunting, and pretty much anything to do with the outdoors.

I come to the Spencer School District as a cross categorical teacher through Marathon County Special Education. Prior to this year, I was a reading interventionist at Medford Middle School. This is my 34th year of teaching!

I grew up in Stratford and currently live in Marshfield. I have three grown children and two grandchildren. I went to college at UW-Eau Claire and received my masters at Concordia University of Wisconsin.

In my free time I enjoy traveling, camping, live concerts and the outdoors. I thoroughly enjoy the summer months but also like the fall season. The winter is tolerable because I do like to snowshoe. Once spring comes, I am excited to make summer plans!

Hello, my name is Christa Hoheisel and I love middle school! I am teaching eight- grade Humanities, English/ Language Arts (ELA) and Social Studies this year. I truly believe that all students can succeed and I am very excited to be able to support and guide Spencer students to realize their full potential.

A transplant from Michigan, I went back to school at UW-SP to obtain a Wisconsin teaching license. Since 2008, I have taught a variety of subjects including ELA, Social Studies, Math, STEAM, Social and Emotional Health and various other topics -- all at the middle school level.

I reside with my husband in Hewitt, where we raised three boys. Now, I get to focus on raising our canine kids. I love traveling back to Michigan and being outdoors, going to live music events, and spending time with family and friends. I am very excited to be part of the Rocket Family!

My name is Samuel Buchberger. I am the new Middle School Special Education Teacher. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire last December. I love the outdoors and sports. I look forward to getting to know everyone and becoming part of the Rocket family!

Hello, my name is Jessica Daley and I am the new FACS and health teacher here at Spencer. I’m originally from a suburb of Chicago where I lived the majority of my life. I graduated from UWStout in December 2020 and started my teaching career in January 2021 at Spencer. At Stout I played softball for four years and was able to participate in multiple clubs. Playing sports and coaching are my two hobbies and I’m so happy I can continue doing that while teaching. I’m very excited for this school year and can’t wait to teach students life skills.
