Staff Spotlight
1. What is your name? Kristen Prokup
2. What department have you/do you work in? I have the privilege of supporting our Special Education programs as the Division Head.
3. How long have you been working at BG? This is my fourth year at BGHS
4. Where did you go to high school? I am a proud Fremd Viking!
5. What part of working at BG do you find the most rewarding? I firmly believe that our paths in life don't cross by coincidence. I learn something new from every student, staff member and family I have the opportunity to connect with. It is inspiring to hear their stories, support them in overcoming any challenges they may face and encourage them to accomplish their dreams. I went into teaching because I thought I had something to share or give back. As it turns out, I often feel I learn and grow more from my students, their families and staff than I give to them. And for that I am incredibly grateful.
6. What is something unique about you? I had the opportunity to live in Germany for 3 years after my sophomore year of college. While working and completing college, I was lucky to be able to do quite a bit of traveling. As a result, I fell more in love with meeting people from different walks of life, learning different cultures, and taking advantage of unique opportunities to experience new things. What I have learned since then is that I get those same opportunities right in my hometown and in our school community.
7. What activities or clubs do you coach/ sponsor? Girls' gymnastics
