Kirby Ganske - Operations Manager - kganske@treknorth.org

Hello, my name is Kirby Ganske, and I am usually the first person you encounter when you visit TrekNorth High School. My official title would be the Operations Manager. I was born and raised in a western suburb of Chicago. At the age of twenty-one, I joined my sister in the city of Bemidji, to attend Bemidji State University. I graduated from college and received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood in 2000. A week after our graduation, my husband, Jeremy, and I moved to Crookston, MN for a new job opportunity for him. I was a substitute teacher for two years, and then I found a job teaching preschool in the HeadStart program. We moved back to Bemidji in May of 2004, and I taught another year here at HeadStart, before accepting the position at TrekNorth in June of 2005. My husband and I have one child, a little boy named Fisher and he is the joy in our lives. I really enjoy living in Northern Minnesota and taking advantage of all of the lakes in the area. I like to swim, fish, boat, and mostly be around family and friends.
