Katherine Schied-Deckert

Ms. Schied-Deckert, has worked with a wide range of ages and in various settings. Before working at NHS, she worked for several years in early childhood education working with students between the ages of 18 months to 5 years old. Her teaching experience includes three summers as a ceramic arts instructor at a leadership academy in Culver, Indiana. She taught middle/high school students from across the U.S.A. and countries from around the world. She has worked in the activities/therapeutic recreation departments at Senior Living centers.
