Before coming to Hereford High school, Mrs. Susan Gottschalk was a teacher at Stemmers Run middle school in Essex. She continues her 24-year teaching journey as a science teacher here at the Zone.

Her favorite aspect of teaching is building relationships with her students . She is excited for the special events that happen in high school like homecoming, prom, home sports events, and other events that don’t typically happen at the middle school level.

Gottschalk is very passionate about her pets, or as she calls them “furbabies,” which include two dogs and two cats. She wants to promote students and staff to “adopt and don’t shop,” when looking for a new fluffy friend.
