Day School Community Highlights
Bethany Craig Joins EDS
Bethany Craig will be joining the Middle School team as the Spanish teacher. Bethany's experience includes living in Mexico where she worked as a bilingual preschool teacher, spearheading the development of a Spanish program at Owensboro South Middle School, and leading after-school programs in Spanish enrichment and for underprivileged youth. Bethany earned a perfect 4.0 in college and was described by her student teaching advisor as "the best student teacher I've ever had in 18 years."
Holly Ziemer Joins EDS
We are very pleased to welcome Holly Ziemer as the Upper School Social Studies teacher. After receiving her college degree in English and History, Holly went on to earn a law degree before starting a successful career as a corporate attorney. Her passion for education led her to positions at Signature School and Bosse High School, during which time she taught Advanced Placement Government and U.S. History, International Baccalaureate courses, and several English classes. She is very active in professional development, community service, and student activities, and is a reader/rater for A.P. tests.
Welcome New Board Members
Evansville Day School is excited to announce the appointment of five new Trustees in 2018. At the Annual Meeting, the Board voted to increase capacity from seventeen to nineteen. This allowed for the addition of Mark Bernhard, Poonam Bhasin, Carol Griffin, Tom Moosbrugger, and Elizabeth Woosley to a very talented, dedicated group of school leaders.
