Kristin Catron
I have loved teaching at the Primary school since 2012. My favorite thing about teaching is watching students grow and encouraging independence. Go Eagles!

Sandy Chaidez
Hello! My name is Sandy Chaidez. I am from St. Louis, MO but have made Ashland my home. I graduated from Columbia College with a Bachelor's in Psychology and a minor in Elementary Education and certification. I have been at the Primary since the 2021-2022 school year, and this will be my fifth year teaching first grade. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family. Go Eagles!

Morgan Dolph
Hi Eagles! My name is Morgan Dolph and I’m originally from Jefferson City. I received both my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Master of Science in Literacy from Missouri State University in Springfield, MO. Go Bears! I have been teaching first grade here at the Primary since the 2019-2020 school year. I love reading, movies, and spending time with my two kittens! I am so excited to continue to be a part of the Southern Boone Primary family!

Elizabeth Millar
I moved to Ashland in 2012 and am a proud graduate of Southern Boone. I instantly fell in love with the school district and the community and knew this is where I wanted to stay and grow my family. I graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia with a degree in Elementary Education and a certification in Early Childhood. I completed my student teaching internship in First Grade at Southern Boone in the spring of 2019 and was hired to teach full-time the following year. Outside of school I love traveling and spending time with my family!

Heather Morgan
Southern Boone Primary is a great place to be! I have been teaching first grade here since 2016-2017. Before teaching at Southern Boone, I taught 1st grade in Mexico, MO (where I am originally from) for 2 years. I graduated from William Woods University in 2013. My favorite thing about teaching is getting to love on kiddos all day long! They make every moment worth it.

Taylor Rehmus
Hello Southern Boone! My name is Taylor Rehmus. I was born and raised in Chesterfield, MO. I graduated from Missouri State University in 2020 with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. The 2020-21 school year was my first year teaching First Grade at Sparta Elementary School which is located right outside of Ozark, MO. My fiancé is a Physical Education teacher and coach at South Callaway. We moved to Ashland and I began teaching at the Primary in 2021. I am excited to continue to be a part of the Southern Boone Family. I can not wait to spend another year teaching First Grade. I think it is the best! Outside of school, I enjoy playing with my dog, spending time with my family, traveling and boating on Table Rock Lake. Go Eagles!
