Mrs. Kuebler is a proud mother of 4. All of her kids went through FUSD, and they contributed a lot. Her oldest child named Poston Butte by winning the name competition, and that is how Poston Butte got its name. Mrs. Kuebler loves her kids and students with all her heart. If she wasn’t a counselor, she would be a mom.
Mrs. Kuebler is a mom of 4 and has been married to her husband for almost 30 years. She loves to travel the world. So far she has been to 14 different countries and has loved them all. Her top favorites are Sweden, Australia, France, and Italy, but in the end they are all different and special in their own ways. Hiking is another hobby that Mrs. Kuebler loves to do outside of school. She is just an outdoorsy person. She has her private pilot license, and she has been a part of the FUSD district for a while.
Mrs. Kuebler used to be on the FUSD School Board, and during her time on the School Board, she helped build 7 new schools and the new district office. Ms. Kuebler has and will always be a part of FUSD’s heart. She loves her students and her team.
Mrs. Kuebler loves her job, everything about it: students, staff and team. The whole school is like her second family, and whenever you meet her there is just a sense of warmth. She is one of the sweetest people at Poston Butte high school.
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.''- Gandhi Mrs. Kuebler is definitely the kind-hearted change you want to have in the world.

Ms. Campbell-Biter, a history, economic, and government teacher earned Employee of the Month for November.
Ms. Campbell-Biter is a junior and senior history teacher. She is originally from Pennsylvania, but now lives in San Tan Valley with her four kids. Her oldest daughter graduated from Poston Butte last May. Ms. Campbell-Biter used to be an archaeologist but has found a new love for teaching. She is a new teacher, and she loves her students.
Ms. Campbell-Biter is passionate about what she likes. Her favorite thing to do, outside of teaching and decorating for Christmas on Nov 1st, is reading. “My favorite series would have to be The Hunger Games.” Ms. Campbell-Biter is a bookworm; she loves reading. If she wasn’t a teacher, she would be a writer of Historical Fiction. When she was a young child, her grandfather wrote stories/books. Books have always been a part of Ms. Campbell-Biter’s life and will always be.
Ms. Campbell-Biter is a member of the History staff. “I love it here at Poston Butte. This school has such great school spirit,” she stated. Ms. Campbell-Biter loves her students, especially her high school students. She previously taught middle school and then moved up to high school. She finds her high schoolers so interesting, “I love the conversations you can get with high school students, especially when they are thinking about their futures,” she smiled. It's not just the kids, but also the staff. The whole History department is friendly and supportive."
One of Ms. Campbell-Bitter's favorite quotes is by Edgar Allen Poe: “There is no beauty without some strangeness.” This can be said about the world we live in. She even has this quote framed in her classroom. Ms. Campbell-Biter is a great example and even more of a great teacher. She will continue to help grow and make connections with her students for many years to come.

Angelica Kutyba, a freshman at Poston Butte High School, earned Student of the Month for November.
Angelica Kutyba has always lived in Arizona with her sibling, but she has spent 4 months in Mexico. Angelica is a fun and creative person. Painting with watercolors and drawing are just a few of Angelica’s talents.
Being creative comes naturally to Angelica, whether it is painting, drawing, or even creative writing. Her favorite color is purple, and she is never afraid to express herself. Angelica is an outgoing person; she can make friends like it is nothing. She is kind, brave, and definitely a person you want to have in your corner.
Angelica has always been a hard-working student, and it's no wonder that she made Student of the Month. Her advice is to work hard and keep up your grades and attitude. She stated, “ It’s ok to slip up once in a while as long as you get back up.” We here at The Bronco Corner couldn’t agree more.
