| Barb Matson I'm originally from Lead, South Dakota where I enjoyed growing up in the
beautiful Black Hills. After receiving my B.A. in art education from the
U. of Wyo. I spent the next 13 years in Glenrock with a variety of art
education positions, K-12. In 1989 N.C.S.D. hired me as an art instructor
in Casper where I've enjoyed teaching elementary-middle school art for the
past 19 years.
It's wonderful beginning my day at CCA. The students and staff are so
much fun and it's a great way to begin each morning.
Bob and I have been married for the past 29 years. It's been "29 years of
bliss", as Bob puts it. We have two wonderful children, Maggie (21) and
Jens (19) who are both attending St. Olaf College in Northfield,

Studies and Studio Art. Jens is on the cross-country ski team and enjoys
studio art and the sciences.
I enjoy X-country skiing, walking and keeping fit, the culinary arts,
puppy dogs, planting many flowers and working the soil, creating with many
different mediums, being with family and seeing children develop their
creative potential.
Thanks for being such supportive parents. Please come and visit anytime!! |

| Sheryl Schroefel Physical Education I was born and raised in Wyoming and have lived in Casper since '75. I attended Casper College on a basketball scholarship and we were the first female team from Casper to advance to the national tournament. We placed 9th and lost to the national champions. We received the sportsmanship award out of all the other teams so we represented Casper nicely. I finished my college career at College of the Ozarks in Missouri. I returned back to Casper in 1990 and have been teaching here ever since. I have taught at Centennial Junior High, CY Junior High, NCHS, and Casper Classical. I'm currently teaching at NCHS and Casper Classical in Physical Education and Health.

| Matt Sharpnack Social Studies Political Discourse I graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1991 with a B.S. in Political Science. History and government have always been of interest to me. Competitive debate has always been a love of mine as well. I represented the Wyoming district at the Debate Nationals, and placed first during college at several Southern California tournaments, including the NCAA regionals at UCLA. It was debate that first got me into teaching, as I accepted a debate coaching position at KWHS in Casper in 1997. I enjoyed working with the students so much that I decide to pursue a teaching career. My first teaching position was in Katy, Texas where I taught World Geography to 9th graders. We moved back to Casper in 2000, where I got my current position teaching history and political discourse at CCA. I am convinced this is a special school and I love my job.

Meredith Widiker Meredith Widiker was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. After graduating from the University of Colorado in Boulder with a double major in Classical Languages and German and a minor in language arts, she headed off to Germany to spend a year studying. She taught two years in the Denver schools, then moved to Minnesota where her husband worked. She and her family, which include a son and daughter, moved to Wyoming in 1978.

In 1991, she once again entered the teaching field, dividing her time between CY Junior High and Natrona County High School, Meredith has been at CCA since its inception in 1999, teaching Latin and language arts.
