My name is LaNessa Hof.  I was born in Charleston, South Carolina on a Navy Base.  After a few years we moved to Florida and lived in various places.  I graduated from Winter Park High School in Orlando, Florida and when my father retired we moved to South Dakota.  I attended college at Dakota State University and received my BS degree in Elementary Education and Special Education.  My first teaching position was located in Chamberlain, SD at St. Joseph's Indian School.  I taught for 3 years there before moving closer to family.  I accepted a position at St. Mary Catholic School in 1998 and have been there ever since in various positions.  I have taught 2nd grade for approximately 6 years, 3rd grade for 2 years, then Kindergarten for 12 years and finally I have been the K-12 Computer teacher for the last 4 years.  

I am married to a wonderful man named Jason.  We have been married over 27 years now and have 4 children.  We also have 3 dogs and 3 cats and 8 zebra finches.  

In my spare time, I enjoy playing games and watching crime shows.
