We are excited to welcome Brieann Easter as our new Behavioral Support Specialist. Brieann is a proud Gentry alumna who has lived in Gentry her entire life. She is married to her high school sweetheart of 11 years, who is also a Gentry graduate. Together, they have two children and two dogs. In her free time, Brieann enjoys spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, and crafting.
She returns to Gentry with a diverse professional background. Brieann began her career in the medical field before transitioning into education. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and began work toward a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy. That path led her to ABA Therapy, which ultimately inspired her passion for Special Education. She went on to earn her Master of Arts in Teaching – Special Education.
Brieann loves helping students overcome the challenges they face and has learned so much from them throughout her journey. She is honored and excited to be a Pioneer once again. As an alumna, she is proud to return to the district that helped shape who she is and looks forward to helping shape the future of her hometown.
We are excited to welcome Morgan Prochnow as our new Speech Pathologist. Morgan graduated with both her bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

She has experience working with students of all ages, from preschool through high school. Morgan and her husband now live in Tontitown with their energetic dog, Ash.
Passionate about helping students find their voice and succeed in the classroom, Morgan is eager to begin collaborating with a dedicated team of educators.
