Mrs. Mader was born in Southern California. Ms. Mader went to college at Northern Arizona University and majored in math. She moved here from Kentucky after her wife finished graduate school because her wife grew up in the area.
Mrs. Mader enjoys reading books, painting, drawing and camping. She also listens to a lot of music like Lewis Capaldi, Jake Scott, and Bailey Zimmerman. She likes it here in the Vallivue School District because it’s small and she likes the environment of our school. She said that her old school had a very different environment.
She likes to look out for her students, and she said the easiest thing for her is getting to know her students, but it can be sometimes difficult to get them to believe in themselves. Before taking the job at VHS, she taught middle school for three years and coached varsity girls soccer for middle school and high school. She would also like to be an art teacher at some point.
Ms. Mader heard good things about Vallivue High School and saw that there was a math teacher job open so she applied here. She has made some new friends that are a part of our staff and we are so grateful to have her at our school.
