NEW TEACHER FEATURE - Get to know them ….

Tri Star has added three faculty members to its teaching staff for the 2018-19 school year: Annette Albers will teach Med Prep half-time. Albers was hired because enrollment for the popular program spiked to over 40 students.

Brett McGillvary will teach the construction program replacing Warren Gregor who passed away in June.

And, Brent Tippie took the reins of the Welding program from long time Welding Instructor, Todd Smith, who retired at the end of the 2017-18 school year.
