Mels comments:
I have been excited to be a part of the Shoshone School District since 2004. This school presents a wide variety of challenges. With the enthusastic and caring staff of this district the dynamics of the district are forward thinking and progressive.
This opportunity to come back to southern Idaho has been an exciting and rewarding time for my wife and myself. Our proximity to family and friends has meant much to us.
The growth issues of this community present exciting possibilities for the future. Please feel free to contact me or stop the district office and introduce yourself to myself or our staff. |
