About Our Teachers
Mrs. Barduson
My name is LeAnn Barduson and I am originally from Brandon, SD. I am an Augustana College graduate with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Math, Spanish, and Education. I have been a teacher in Worthington High School since 2013.
Mrs. Berg
Growing up in Chicago, Illinois did not prepare me for the cold winters of Minnesota, but it did prepare me for the welcomed diversity of the Worthington School District. As one of the Math teachers at the ALC and the Trojan Learning Academy instructor, I am putting my B.S. degree in Mathematics from the Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville to good use.
Seeing students become successful in class is one of my greatest joys as a teacher. The challenges they give me encourage me to continue on the path of education.
Ms. Hochholter
My name is Mackenzie Hochhalter. I am from the Sioux Falls, SD area and went to school in Brandon, SD. After high school, I went to South Dakota State University (SDSU) in Brookings, SD. I graduated from SDSU in May of 2021 with a B.S. degree in Mathematics with a Teaching Specialization. I started teaching here in Worthington in 2021. In my free time, I love baking treats for my friends and family.
Mr. Johnson
Hi, my name is Kyle Johnson. I am one of the math teachers in the high school this year. This is my second year teaching but my first year in Worthington. Over this last summer I have gotten married to my beautiful wife Libby and we now live here in Worthington. Some hobbies that I have are music, disc golf, sports, and board games. A fun fact about me is that during college I would drive to Sioux Falls for video game tournaments with cash prizes and that became my main source of income during college. I am looking forward to getting into the school and getting to meet all of the new faces and new students!
Mr. Sedler
My name is Ryan Sedler and I am originally from Climax, MN. I am a Mayville State University (NorthDakota) graduate with a B.S. degree majoring in Math/Education along with a minor in Coaching.
My goals as an educator are to help students to be the best they can be and for students to enjoy math class all while improving a little more each day.
My personal interests include traveling ( Some places I have been to are Italy, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, France, Holland, and the Philippines), going to concerts, and playing and watching most sports.
An interesting fact about me is that I was born in Germany.
Mrs. Tripp
Since 2007, I have taught math at Worthington High School. I earned my degrees in Mathematics and Secondary Education from Augustana College and my master’s in Education with an emphasis in Mathematics from SMSU. I teach Accelerated Geometry, Algebra 3, AP Statistics, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus.
What I enjoy most about teaching is that each day is a little different because of students and staff. They seem to constantly find new ways to amaze me.
