Meet Our Staff

Sarah Scovell Muraski
Administrator
My name is Sarah Scovell Muraski, and I am honored to be of service as your administrator. I have been an educator in some capacity for twenty-five years in public, private, charter and virtual schools. To date, I have earned degrees in English, French, history, and Educational Administrative Leadership from Silver Lake College and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and recently added a certification in Structured Literacy and dyslexia intervention from Carroll University. Current professional adventures also include teaching high school English and providing support as an interventionist for middle and high school students in reading.
When not enjoying the hiking trails, fishing holes, and inspirational views for painting around my home in Door County, Wisconsin, you’ll find me reading or writing, having adventures with my creative and brilliant daughter, learning more languages, traveling with friends, volunteering, or growing things to eat!
Teaching and learning are my passions. Everything I do – for fun or to live – has something to do with those two things. There is no greater thing we can aspire to as human beings than discovery — of the world, the universe, each other, or ourselves — and ultimately love and respect for what we find.

David Friend
Agriculture Teacher
Howdy, my name is David Friend and I have worked for the Kiel School District since 1997. I was born and raised in West Virginia, but have rooted here in the Kiel community. My beautiful wife and I have decided there is no better place to brood our three children. We believe in the Kiel Schools and that they offer excellent educational opportunities for our kids.
I am an avid Steeler and WV Mountaineer fan, but have come to love the Packers and Badgers too. I spend quite a bit of time at school. I do try to make time for things I enjoy like: coaching my kids, helping at my church, hobby farming, hunting and watching sports.

Katie Thibeault
Social Studies Teacher
Hi, I am glad to work as a virtual Social Studies teacher! I enjoy teaching and learning about people, decisions, and why people make decisions. This helps me to excel in my mission for class which is to support students to Grow their stories using experiences and engaging within this learning community.
My story is diverse and has changed over time. I have had many different jobs that include the service industry, architecture, military, and now education. While in college, my story added another character in my husband Paul. He is a paramedic. We live in Kiel, Wisconsin with our daughters, Emma & Ava. A big part of my story includes being outside. I like to get out and canoe, hike, bike, snowshoe or ski. I am excited to learn and grow as I hope each of you will as well.
