Mrs. Smith

Welcome! This is my 26th year teaching special education at Dover-Eyota. and 31st year of teaching overall. Before coming to Dover-Eyota, I taught 2 years in Kingman, Arizona and 3 years at Jackson County Central Middle and High School. Before teaching at DE Elementary, I spent 23 years in the DE Middle and High School. The 2025-2026 will be my third year teaching at the elementary school. 

Outside of school I love spending time with my family. My family consists of my husband, my daughter, two stepsons, two beautiful daughter-in-laws and three grandchildren. Besides spending time with my family, I also enjoy reading, camping, kayaking and hiking with our dogs. During the winter I enjoy reading, snowshoeing and knitting. 

I am a proud pet mom and have three Golden Retrievers. This past summer, I completed my 9th year working with the Olmsted County 4-H Dog Project. Now it is my turn to have some fun! I am starting to do rally obedience with two of our dogs! During the summer I also help to lead mission trips for my church. I have had the opportunity to bring teens to New Orleans, Washington, DC, Kentucky, Roatan, Honduras, Sisseton, SD, Duluth and most recently Milwaukee,
