With teachers retiring and leaving we were able to welcome a new smiling face: Beth Basinger.

Basinger has been teaching for 12 years.  She has taught in many different places because she has moved around for her husband’s job.

Basinger went to many different colleges: Indian Hills Community College, Buena Vista University, the University of Missouri and the University of Iowa.

Basinger lives in Norwalk, with her four kids and husband. She likes to read, travel, spend time with family, be outside and enjoys her time with her kids and the activities they do.

She says that her most rewarding part of teaching has been the connections she has made with the students and teachers.

Basinger loves the community and the ADM school district because of the wonderful environment she works in and all the welcoming people.
