Meet our new MNCS High School Advisor Joezet Shirley Schrag!!
I am excited to join your community as a student advisor at the High School. From a young age my grandparents instilled a passion for exploration, conservation, inquiry and confidence to find my voice. As a parent and educator I want to help students find their voice, reach their goals and discover possibilities. I graduated from College of the Visual Arts in 1999 with a Bachelor in Fine Arts. From there I worked in outdoor education in northern MN, California and Michigan. Coming home I worked at Montessori school with little ones who taught me how busy they really are. I enjoyed and was privileged to teach art at Farview Park in Minneapolis. The students taught me resilience, kindness and the definition of community. I completed a Masters in Art education k-12 in 2025. At home my husband and I have a beautiful silly 8th grader. Becoming a parent I’ve learned how to support her, identify her needs, advocate for her education and watched her soar past goals becoming a wonderful person. I look forward to learning from all of you and your students, about your culture, traditions, ambitions and where you think your students need help. I am looking forward to returning all the energy teachers have brought to our family over the years. Enjoying Summer Days!
Let's give Joezet a huge MNCS Welcome!!!

Meet our new MNCS High School Counselor, Kerrie Troseth!!
My husband Darren (aka the Catfish Guru) and I own and operate a fishing guide business. And we have two cats: Samson and Bella Boo.
I enjoy trying new hobbies every year. This year, I am learning metal detecting and magnet fishing. I also enjoy gardening and cruising around on my Buddy moped.
As a School Counselor I love watching teens grow, gain confidence, and use the skills they learn through school counseling to make positive choices and create opportunities for their future.
I am excited to join a team of passionate educators who use their talents and expertise to make a direct impact on students' lives. I am also eager to experience and learn more about the unique approach of Minnesota New Country School.

MNCS is reeling in exciting new opportunities for students! Our new Fishing Team is dedicated to promoting sportsmanship, environmental stewardship, competitive angling skills, and FUN among students.
Last weekend, the team participated in their second bass tournament through the MN Student Angler Tournament trail where they showed great improvement and had fun on the water. Every student who participated in the tournament was able to land at least one fish and one of our angling pairs finished in the top half of all teams participating that day. We are looking forward to our next tournament on June 14th.
