A longtime Mitchell High School teacher was honored by the Mitchell Rotary Club as the Carl Sprunger Outstanding Educator yesterday. Tricia Neugebauer, who teaches physics, advanced biology, biology, and biomedical courses, has taught at MHS since 1994. She is a Minnesota native who graduated from Moorhead State University.
The annual award is named for longtime Mitchell Rotary Club member Carl Sprunger. The winner is chosen by students. Those who apply for the Mitchell Area Community Scholarship are asked to nominate up to two people who they feel have made a significant contribution to their success during their years in the Mitchell School District.
Neugebauer and her classes were described by students as challenging, amazing, impactful, and dedicated.
