Meet Mr. G

Hello and welcome to 2nd grade! My name is Jake Gochis, and I am looking forward to a great year of learning together. I can't wait to get to know each student and help make this a fun and successful school year. 

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of Montana in 2011, and later completed my master’s degree in Curriculum & Instruction from Montana State University in 2017. In the classroom, I focus on building a positive and engaging environment where students feel confident, supported, and excited to learn each day. 

When I’m not in the classroom, you will usually find me reading, running, traveling, watching hockey, or spending time with my wife and our dogs. GO AVS GO!
