New teachers will join Summerland staff

A familiar face will return to the Summerland district for the 2021-2022 school year

Krista Holliday, former science instructor at Ewing Public Schools, will return to the classroom.

Holliday will replace Mary Leisy, who has accepted a position at Atkinson West Holt Public Schools.

Principal Greg Appleby said Holliday is "excited to come back and work as our science teacher."

Holliday's tenure at Ewing began in the 1996-1997 school year. She resigned at the end of the 2019-2020 school year.

Alexa Knievel will fill a vacancy following the resignation of Clearwater elementary instructor Whitney Bentley.

Knievel currently teaches at Boone Central Public Schools. She resides in Neligh.

Principal Cathy Cooper said Knievel is "very positive and will be a great addition to the staff."
