I have been a middle school math teacher for my entire teaching career. I have taught in grades 5-8. A fun fact about me is that I attended school in Worthington from Kindergarten to Grade 12. I enjoyed growing up in the district so much that I decided I wanted to teach here.
Mrs. Wintz
Hello! I’m Mrs. Wintz and I teach eighth grade math and algebra. I graduated from SVRLB High School and then went to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities where I earned a degree in chemistry in 2009. After a few years of AmeriCorps and working in a lab, I attended Southwest Minnesota State University. I graduated in 2014 with a degree in math education and licensure in both chemistry and math.
Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my large family, playing sports, and doing “all things Minnesota”: going to the lake, gardening, watching Gopher football, and listening to MPR.
