"Hello! My name is Noah, and I am excited to be joining Spring Hill USD 230 as a middle school special education teacher. I spent the past three years teaching special education at Emporia Middle School and am passionate about helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
I grew up in Overland Park, so I am especially excited to be back in Johnson County and closer to the community that helped shape who I am today. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to give back to the community where I grew up by supporting and advocating for students as they learn and grow.
Outside of school, I enjoy gaming, creating content for YouTube and TikTok, watching movies, and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to building strong relationships with students, families, and staff and am excited for a great school year at Spring Hill USD 230!"
