After substituting for a short time at Seabury, she was encouraged to come out of retirement to join the faculty full time. She and her husband, James, moved to Lawrence in 2022 and have a small farm south of town where they plan to grow fruits and vegetables and enjoy a quiet life. Most of Susie's free time has been spent getting moved into their new home on the property, but when she does have spare time, she enjoys reading, spending time with family here in town, and visiting family who live elsewhere. Susie and James have three grown children and eight grandchildren. Krista Meisch Spanish Krista is a dedicated educator with a diverse background in teaching.

Katy Steinbacher Science Holding degrees in civil engineering from the University of Kansas, Katy is a registered Professional Engineer with over 20 years of experience in the engineering industry, managing and mentoring students and young professionals. She has also served as an elementary and middle school science and engineering classroom teacher. Katy is passionate about the absolute necessity of a strong foundation in S.T.E.M. disciplines, and she is committed to ensuring that all young people, especially those historically underserved and underrepresented in S.T.E.M., have access to high-quality S.T.E.M. experiences. She shares, "Every kid is a natural born scientist, engineer, and explorer. I believe that by allowing our students to engage with science and engineering in a fun, hands-on, exploratory manner, we will help guide them to their own unique discoveries—epiphanies that will eventually enable them to successfully meet the challenges facing our world."
