Ms. Koch

Welcome!

My name is Karmen Koch and this will be my first year teaching at DC West! Originally, I am from the small town of Crofton, Nebraska where I grew up in a family of six kids on a small farrow-to-finish hog operation. I then moved to Wayne, Nebraska where I received a Bachelors of Science in Secondary Math Education and an art minor at Wayne State College in 2024. Last year, I spent my first year of teaching back in my hometown at Crofton High School, where I taught Geometry, Algebra II, Advanced Math, and Calculus. 

I have since relocated to Howells, Nebraska where I live on a family feedlot with my dog Copper [see below pictures of him.....I am always willing to share more pictures of him if you ask! :) ]  In my spare time, I love to take Copper on walks, explore new art mediums, as well as binge TikTok and TV shows (I have currently began watching Supernateral). 

I am super excited to begin this next chapter at DC West and to meet and grow with all of you! If you have any questions or concerns, you can always email me at kkoch@dcwest.org or call the school at 402-359-2121. I am always happy to help!
