This week we turn the spotlight to our highly decorated band director Mrs. Kay Herrboldt. She has built one of the most respectable band programs in the state and we are very thankful for her years of dedication to the Tornadoes! Staff Spotlight - Kay Herrboldt - Band Director Favorites: Color: Red Hobby: Boating, Watching any activity my kids are doing, playing games on my phone Food: Chinese Drink: Diet Coke About Me: This is my 35th year of teaching instrumental music. My husband and I live on a farm near Lesterville and have two children, Tori and Trent. Kelly farms for a living, Tori goes to college in Laramie, Wyoming for music education and Trent goes to school in Lincoln, Nebraska for Exercise Science. Favorite Memory at CHS: As most of you know, marching season is my favorite time of the year. I really do not have one specific memory that stands out or maybe I just can't remember at my age. LOL! There is nothing better than to watch the marching band go down the street with all their pride and energy! I LOVE IT!!!! Why did you choose education? Well - Funny story - I went to college to be an accountant. When my mom and I got to USD to sign up for classes, the band professor(Dr. Mitchell) came up to me and suggested I should take some music classes and come to band and see if I would like it. He thought I would be good at teaching music and thought I would enjoy it better then accounting. Well, the rest is history. I never looked back. The only person that has ever asked me if I thought I made the right decision was my dad. He thought I was crazy for going into instrumental music. Back when I started 35 years ago, there was only men in this business. He wanted me to go into choral music and I had no interest in that at all. As you all know, my dad was one of my biggest supporters. I am so, so glad I decided to become as educator! The students have taught me so much about life and also about challenges. Yes, it is a tough job but it is also very rewarding!!

Good morning Tornado Nation! We want to put the spotlight on another one of our very valued teachers this week, our MS/HS History Teacher Mr. Kory Muller. If he's not teaching history or geography, it could be Health, PE, and even automotive classes. When he's not doing all of that, he is coaching, jumping on a microphone, or doing anything and everything to bring positive energy in our building and in the entire community! Staff Spotlight - Kory Muller - MS/HS History Teacher Favorites: Color - orange or black, depends on the car Animal - dog, horse, pheasant Hobby - we love camping, traveling, and hiking but I have a lot of hobbies including tinkering on cars, raising pheasants, and the occasional browse through Facebook marketplace. Food - double bacon cheeseburger Drink - Pepsi About me: I am a graduate of THE Waubay high school, as is my beautiful wife Laurie. After graduation I spent the year farming and finding myself ... mostly on a tractor, a hayrack, squeezed between milk cows, or shoveling snow. After a year on my own, I decided to that I wanted to be a teacher so off the farm and on to SDSU I went. I have to be honest, I didn't think I was college material but I LOVED being a Jackrabbit!! On December 23rd, 2000, Laurie and I got married and started our forever journey. The following summer I took my first teaching job in Centerville...thanks for the callback, Mr. Voss! I have been part of Tornado Nation since 2001 as a teacher, coach, and fan! Laurie and I moved to Centerville in 2013 after living in Yankton for ten years. We love our place on the edge of town where we can enjoy the conveniences of “city life” yet feel like we are still in the country. We have four boys - Brady, Jace, Carter, and Camden. They are busy in a variety of different activities which keeps us all on the go! CHS Memory: I've had so many great CHS memories over the years, but one of my favorites has to be driving the school bus home from Tea as the boys chanted "State! State! State!" following our 2014 Region 5 boys basketball win. That was pretty cool!! I got a lot more memories of a lot of great people so stop by sometime, I'd love to share them. Why did you choose education? Well, becoming a teacher wasn't my first choice as a profession...I thought about being a stunt man, then a cowboy or rodeo clown, possibly a race car driver…that looked fun! I tried farming, construction, building grain bins, but I wasn’t very good at those I guess, so, after taking a year “off” I decided to go to SDSU to become a teacher. Seriously though, I love what I do. I've always enjoyed young people and wanted to be part of their journey, so becoming a teacher seemed to make sense. I have been blessed with so many great relationships with staff & students both past and present, and I am very thankful for that. I couldn't have seen myself doing anything else, anywhere else.
