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.
