Donna Schantz

Lori Gensch has nominated Ms. Donna Schantz for the Staff Recognition Highlight. 

Mrs. Schantz is in her 24th year of teaching with Hemlock Public Schools.  She is currently a kindergarten teacher at Hemlock Elementary.  

“Donna is a dedicated educator.  She is one of the first to arrive at the school each morning and one of the last to leave.  The amount of time and energy she puts into her profession is admirable,” shared Hemlock Elementary Principal Lori Gensch.

Throughout her tenure with the district, Mrs. Schantz has taught Pre-K, Kindergarten, and a 4th/5th grade split.  In her spare time, she enjoys paddle boarding, playing volleyball, sewing quilts, photography, baking, and running her family’s blueberry farm in the summer.

When asked what makes her the proudest as a teacher, Donna stated, “I am the most- proud of my students when they do something they never thought they’d be able to do.  That look on their faces is priceless.”
