A new Schuyler Central High School Physical Education teacher started teaching on Monday, January 6, 2020. Ms. Grace Scheil replaced Jennifer Svoboda who had left to accept a position at Stanford University. “My first day was great as soon as I met my students I knew that this was going to be a fun first semester of teaching and an awesome way for me to dip my toes into the real world,” Ms. Scheil said. Besides P.E., Ms. Scheil teaches health and this is her first year as a teacher.  

As for her educational background, Ms. Scheil graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney during the Fall semester of 2019. Ms. Scheil was a student-teacher at Adams Central High School in Hastings, NE and she graduated from Estes Park High School in Colorado. Ms. Scheil studied K-12 Health and P.E. The reason why Ms. Scheil chose to work at SCHS is because it was her first job opportunity and she was also excited for a position that included coaching volleyball.

Something that Ms. Scheil likes about P.E. is being active. “The class gives students an opportunity to get up and active rather than sitting at a desk all day,” remarked Ms. Scheil. Something that most people don’t know about Ms. Scheil is that she played volleyball at U.N.K for 4 years.
