Mrs. Kuhnke
My name is Sammantha Kuhnke and I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in May 2019. I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and this is my first year as a teacher. Prior to graduating, I was a 4 and 5 year old Lead Teacher at Play and Grow Learning Center for about 5 years. I live in Hortonville with my husband Jevis and 3 month old son Pierce. We have two cats and a dog that surely keep us on our toes. I enjoy reading mystery books, going up north, exploring different campgrounds, and traveling around the United States. Traveling to all 50 states is on my bucket list! I am excited to begin my journey as an educator at WCA and I can’t wait to get to know all of my students and families.

Hi, my name is Mr. Doden. I teach high school and middle school math at WCA. This is my 10th year teaching at WCA. I can’t believe it! I truly enjoy working with our students, learning coaches and staff. I live in Appleton with my wife and two daughters. My oldest daughter is Lola and she is now nine years old. She just started 4th grade. Lola loves to read! She also enjoys playing video games on her Nintendo Switch. My younger daughter is Ana. Yes, like the princess from the movie Frozen. She is now six years old and will be in 1st grade this school year. Ana loves to draw and color. She also enjoys swimming and running around outside. Some things you should probably know about me are the following: spending time with family is a huge part of my life, I’m a sports fanatic and I officiate football. I’m also a huge Wisconsin Badger fan. I can’t believe there won’t be any Wisconsin football this fall. I went to UW-Madison for college and I graduated in 2004. On Wisconsin! I want everyone to know you can contact me anytime during the school day if you have a question or a concern. I am always willing to help in order to make WCA the best experience possible for each family. Good luck to all students and learning coaches the first couple of days of school. Just remember, I’m only a webmail or phone call away!
