This Friday's Staff Feature Friday spotlight's our newest High School Special Education Teacher, Mrs. Barb Dunham! Mrs. Dunham will assume her new position next week when students return to the classroom!
Mrs. Dunham's family consists of her husband Bill, the 6-12 Industrial Arts teacher, and her daughter, Emeline who will be in 7th grade at Wapello this fall.
Mrs. Dunham holds a degree from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. Mrs. Dunham has worked for the Wapello Community School District for the past two years as the PK-12 ELL Coordinator. She has 21 years of prior teaching experience before coming to work as the Wapello ELL Coordinator.
In her spare time, you will Mrs. Dunham spending time with her family, traveling, baking, reading, and working on genealogy when time allows.
When asked what she likes best about working for the Wapello Community School District, she had this to say, "I didn't grow up in a small town, so I love the sense of "community" that prevails here in Wapello, not just within the town itself, but within the WCSD family, too. I especially appreciate the way everyone rallies around individuals and families when they have a significant challenge they are facing; our family has been greatly blessed by the "small town strength," and we have appreciated being able to support other families in similar situations since we joined the community a few years ago. Wapello is a great place to live, and our WCSD students are fortunate to be growing up in a place where taking care of each other is just normal, every-day life, both in and out of school."
Congratulations to Mrs. Dunham being selected for today's Staff Feature Friday. Make sure to check back next Friday to see who we spotlight for the next installment of our Staff Feature Friday!

Congratulations to the Muscatine Journal's All Area Team for Baseball and Softball. The 2019 teams have been named by the Muscatine Journal, and four Wapello High School Athlete's have been named to this year's team. Let us introduce you to the honorees!
Serah Shafer - Freshman
Statistical line/honors: .347 BA, .535 slugging percentage, 35 hits, 25 runs scored, 10 2B, 3 HR, 25 RBIs, 12-12 stolen bases. Second-team all-Southeast Iowa Super Conference North.
Wapello Coach Ashley Hahnbaum on Shafer: “She’s an all-around player. We’ve been working on little things and she definitely matured from her eighth-grade to her freshman year. She’ll do whatever I’ll ask her to, she’ll lay a bunt down when she needs to and likes to swing hard.”
Joseph Stewart - Senior
Statistical line/honors: .278 BA, .370 OBP, 14 RBIs, 6 SB, 3 doubles. Second-team all-Southeast Iowa Super Conference South.
Wapello Coach Brandon Brown on Stewart: “Joseph was our absolute heart and soul. A three-year starter for us who hit in the four-hole and played left field. More impressive was his willingness to take on a role as a pitcher for us this year. Joe will be impossible to replace in his leadership role. But he has helped to bring our young players along and helped them build for the future."
Aiden Housman - Junior
Statistical line/honors: .307 BA, .411 OBP, 8-11 SB, 8 RBIs, 4 2B. Southeast Iowa Super Conference honorable mention.
Wapello Coach Brandon Brown on Housman: “Aiden had a great bounce-back season for us this year. He has had to fight some pretty devastating injuries but worked hard his way into the lead off spot for us. Giving great innings at shortstop and on the mound. He has a very bright senior year ahead of him as he made huge strides this year.”
Tate Krondfeldt - Freshman
Statistical line/honors: .333 BA, .441 OBP, 17 RBIs; Fielding – 20 CS. Second-team all-Southeast Iowa Super Conference North.
Wapello Coach Brandon Brown on Krondfeldt: “(Tate is) one of the best catchers we have had behind the plate in the last 15 years. He did well managing our pitchers and has a great baseball knowledge. By the end of the first week of games, he earned his spot in the three-hole for us offensively and had a great freshman season. This kid loves to play baseball and it shows.”
Congratulations to these honorees on a great 2019 season!
