My name is Hilary Dahlen, formerly Hilary Smith, and this is my 11th year working in the East Grand Forks School District as well as my 11th year teaching.
I am originally from Brainerd, Minnesota and graduated from Brainerd Senior High School. I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Education and Bachelor’s of Arts in Biology from the University of Minnesota Moorhead. In addition, I completed a program through Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and obtained my Master of Arts in Education.
I spent a number of years coaching girls hockey and softball for the East Grand Forks Green Wave. I enjoy working with young athletes and being around the sport, but for now, I spend time outside of the classroom with my husband, two children ages 8 and 4, and our puppy, running around to various activities and visiting our extended family.
