Kelsey Huber was born into a proud Ukrainian home and raised on her family's farm just outside Calmar, where she helped her family raise pigs, chickens, beef cattle and grain. After marrying her husband, she moved to the New Humble area and became involved in his beef cattle and grain farming operation. Kelsey has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Women's and Gender studies and a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology. She also works in the mental health field. When speaking about the opportunities at NHCS, Kelsey says it's both a blessing and a privilege for her children, nieces, and nephews to experience agriculture in its rawest and most beautiful form. Agriculture and environmental stewardship is important in elementary education because children need to learn and understand the connections to land, industry, and people. Gaining perspective is always important because with perspective comes appreciation. NHCS is a fantastic and unique opportunity for rural and urban kids to dig deep, get their hands dirty, and embark on a new adventure with their education. To Kelsey, a community is a group of like-minded people who share common goals, values, and/or norms. It is a place where people feel a sense of belonging and purpose. While a community can have diverse characteristics, it can be united by shared ties and other commonalities. Ultimately, a community should be a safe place where everyone can prosper and grow. Kelsey is passionate about agriculture and is excited to watch New Humble Community School grow deep roots and thrive.

Megan Olynyk grew up in the nearby area of Pipestone before moving to the New Humble region in 2008. She attended the small rural schools of Pipestone Elementary and Pigeon Lake Regional High School. Megan has always felt very connected to agriculture; living in a rural area, keeping various animals, and participating in family's and friend's farming activities. She and her husband currently have a small grain operation and actively assist other farming families. Megan also has a background working in oilfield and powerline industries. When it comes to the education at New Humble, Megan feels that although some might think that elementary ages limit how much one can learn about the connectedness of agriculture and the environment in our daily lives, this is not the case. She believes that young learners are capable and at a perfect age to understand the interconnected web between agriculture and the rest of the world. To Megan, community is more than a group of neighbours that live in the same area. Community is any group that supports each other, in spite of differences in views, beliefs or priorities, but has a sense of belonging, camaraderie, and a support system for each other. She feels that community is where everyone wants the best for each other and will work together in a time of need. Megan has numerous certifications and is a proud mother of four, as well as published author and project manager, both professionally and personally. She excels at setting goals and achieving them.

Bill Orlick has lived in the New Humble area his entire life. He attended New Humble school from grades 1 - 8, then attended junior and senior high school in nearby Calmar. He lives and farms a mixed cattle and grain operation on the same land that has been in his family's name since 1926. Prior to full time farming, Bill also worked as a hydraulic mechanic and as an operator at a gas plant. Bill feels that it is important for children to know where their food comes from, and to realize that how we live and interact with our environment has effects in both the short term and long term. He feels that New Humble Community School also presents a unique opportunity for kids to excel in learning in a rural environment, and that this will be a great way for kids to better connect to education. When speaking about community, Bill says it is huge for him; it's where we come from, it's our history. He has great respect for those who came before us that built this community to make it what it is today and he feels an obligation to carry on what has been started. NHCS ties strongly into those beliefs, with its amazing 120 years of providing education to our community. But he says that regardless of whether someone has been here their entire life, or just moved to the area, a community is a place to belong, support each other and thrive. With Bill's own kids attending New Humble, they make the third generation of his family to attend this school!

April Popik grew up on an acreage outside of Thorsby and attended Thorsby Elementary and High School.

April and her spouse moved to the New Humble area in 2014 and own and operate a small archery business, and have since been able to grow the sport with programs through the school and the community. Being raised and raising her own family in a small community has always been very important to April. Thorsby school had a student with the last name Popik consistently from the years 1950-2014. When reflecting on rural life, April notes that "most people knew who you belonged to which had its pros and cons and ultimately held you accountable". To her, that is what it means when they say it takes a village. Both directly and indirectly having a positive impact on a child so they make good decisions and grow into the best version of themselves. She believes that New Humble Community School does just that. New Humble provides a unique learning environment that allows all types of learners to thrive and love their school and be proud of their communit.
