We are excited to welcome Brittney Wilmoth as a new Science Teacher at the Intermediate school!

Outside of school, Brittney enjoys camping, attending local sporting events, visiting national parks, game nights with friends, working cattle with her family, and relaxing around a bonfire or at a concert.
