My name is Jill Ann Rohr. I grew up in a small town in Nebraska called Davenport. I went to high school at Bruning-Davenport USD and graduated with a class of 15. I attended St. Peter's Lutheran Church from Pre-K through 8th grade. I married my high school sweetheart on August 8th, 2020. I am teaching back in my hometown while my husband farms with his dad and brother. My father is a farmer, crops and cattle, and my mother works at the bank in Davenport. I have four siblings, three brothers, two of which are married, and a sister who is married. I also have the cutest niece and nephew!
I have always loved competing in sports. I participated in volleyball, basketball, track and field, and summer softball. Sports help shape the type of leaders people become, and have played a huge part in my life. I decided to continue my track and field career in college, which helped me realize I wanted to become a coach, in any way, shape, or form. I also love music. I played in the band and sang in choir from middle school throughout high school. Recently, I have taken up the art of painting, only for fun though. My three older siblings are all teachers, two of which married teachers, so teaching runs in the family. My oldest two siblings have definitely been the ones that inspired me the most to be a teacher. Being a teacher means to care about your students' success, whether it is the subject you are teaching, or where they take their life after they leave your classroom/school. Helping them figure out the path of what they want to do with their life after high school, will be really fascinating. I always knew back home is where I would like to be. Marrying a farmer from the area also played a huge role into where I would end up needing to be. I used to think teaching in my hometown would be just a dream, and I would have to teach at a nearby school. When it came a reality, I was really able to focus in my professional goals. I am currently teaching 5th-8th grade science and 2nd-8th PE. I would say the environment of my classroom is fun and vulnerable, yet still holding high expectations for all of my students. Here at Bruning-Davenport we have a really great culture and group of students who make it easy to push them academically in order for them to succeed and we can see high potential for all of them. I am truly blessed to be where I am today, only a couple of years out of college. |
