About Mrs. Zipprich:

I was at one time a Valle Catholic Warrior competing against Farmington Knightettes.  Many years later, I can say I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of the Black Knight family.  I am the proud mother of Abreeana "Abree" & Cammden "Cammo" and wife to Matthew "Zipp" Zipprich.  I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Master's degrees in Psychology and School Administration.  I am in my 15th year of working as a school counselor; 11 years in public education and four years in private education.  I also work part-time as a Crisis Clinician, which is some interesting work.  I love education and crisis work, because I never know what challenges will present, and at the end of the day there is reward in knowing that I have impacted many lives.  In my spare time, I love to watch my kids compete in sports (volleyball, softball, baseball, football, & wrestling).  I also love the outdoors: hunting, fishing, side-by-side rides, Jeep rides, etc.

I love my role of helping freshmen transition to FHS.  It can be an overwhelming, intimidating experience, but I am here to help ease those anxieties.  FHS has so many wonderful staff members, students, and opportunities.  There is truly something for everyone at FHS.  So, to all new students, welcome to the Knight Family!

"Beautiful child, you were made to do hard things, so believe in yourself."
