Lessons in Learning - Antoniewicz

Submitted by admin on Mon, 01/15/2018 - 11:14

By Rachel Mergen

After watching his father and brother work as engineers, Dave Antoniewicz, a native to Waukesha, thought he had discovered the path for him. These influences in his life faded a bit though once he entered college at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. 

Antoniewicz’s change of plans was a blessing to the students of Prairie du Chien High School, who now learn from the mathematics and engineering teacher of over 35 years. 

Antoniewcz originally began his career in the school district as an intern. In this position, he took the roll of a part-time teacher. He taught pre-algebra and algebra 1, while also supervising a study hall.

Katarina Jungbluth defines herself as “sort of a kid-at-heart.” She has been a teacher within the Wauzeka-Steuben Elementary School for the past 33 years, having taught all grades in the school except for first. Currently, she finds enjoyment in teaching fourth grade children.

As a youngster, Jungbluth found herself babysitting constantly. “I love working with kids,” she said.

Jungbluth attended the College of Saint Scholastica in Duluth, Minn. She stated that she loved studying there and “would recommend anyone to go there.”

After graduation, she discovered the job market was quite tight for teachers. She noted, “It was not unusual to have applied for a teaching job that more than 50 other people had also applied for.”

When she found employment in the Wauzeka-Steuben School District, she knew nothing about the area, except that it was on a “beautiful side of the state.”
