West De Pere Staff
Meet Ms. Dorner
Hello West De Pere students and parents! I grew up in Rochester, Minnesota and received my teaching degree from the University of Wisconsin - River Falls in 2008. In 2012, I earned a professional development certification through the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, and I am currently working on my master's degree in school counseling.
I teach freshman and sophomore English, as well as two senior writing courses. While I place great value on helping students improve their writing and critical thinking skills, I also place great value on mental and emotional wellbeing. I strive to create a welcoming environment that fosters academic and personal growth.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
