Hi! My name is Mrs. Schmidt, one of the 5th grade teachers here at Southwest Christian School. After graduating from Dordt College, I taught at Sanborn Christian. I then stayed home with our growing family for several years. Last year, I did multiple short & long term subbing positions here at SWC. I am excited to be teaching 5th grade this year! I am married to Jon Schmidt, and we have five beautiful children who all attend SWC. I love children and teaching children, and I am excited to nurture a deeper understanding of God among our Kingdom citizens in all subject areas!
