Hello! My name is Kristi Daggett.

I have been teaching for 18 years, and this will be my 14th year at HMS! 

6th grade music, 7/8 Choir, HS Choir, Jazz Choir,  and Flag Corps.

MY EDUCATION:

I graduated from Augustana College ('08) in Sioux Falls, SD with a Bachelor's degree in K-12 Vocal Music Education. After college, I taught K-12 vocal music in Wabasso, MN (2008-2012).  The music department completed training in Conversational Solfege in 2022.  I am Conversationsal Solfege certified and will be implementing into our curriculum. 

In addition to teaching choir, I have enjoyed directing community musicals, and being a part of our Praise and Worship Team at Grace Fellowship. 

MY FAMILY:

My husband Isaiah and I live in Sanborn and we have a blended family:

Natalie (12th), Kaelyn (10th), Hunter (10th), Preston (7th), Emmett (6th), and Kolt (turning 3 in November).

When I'm not at school, I enjoy cooking, doing family activities,  health and wellness,  visiting family and friends, going on walks, and shopping.

If you ever feel the urge to buy me a coffee, I love Cold Brew with Pistachio Cold Foam from Daily Grind, or a Dirty Chai from the Grain House! :)

My goal as a teacher is to instill a lifelong passion for music.  

"Music changes the world because music changes people."
