Come see us!
Hi my name is Jennifer Hancock. I am excited to introduce myself as a new member to the Eureka Springs School District. I will be working as a Dyslexia & Reading Literacy Paraprofessional. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education from Southern Oregon University (0-8th grade). I have been a long time member of the National Association of Education for Young Children (NAEYC) & have also earned a Child Development Associate Credential (CDA). I plan on pursuing a Master of Arts Degree in Teaching.
I have been married for over 30 years & have two grown children. Some of my favorite activities include walking trails, visiting my children, reading, yoga, & sightseeing. I look forward to building relationships with my future students & co-educators.
Join us for Open House (grades 1-12) on Thursday, August 12th!
Eureka Springs Schools will provide school supplies for all students this year!
Hello everyone!! My name is Crystal Ramberg. I am a new member of Eureka Springs Elementary School as a Special Education Paraprofessional. Becoming a teacher has always been a dream of mine. I am currently attending Western Governors University achieving a Bachelor’s of Art, Elementary Education. I am married to my husband Ryan and we have a little girl named Clara (7). We also have a dog who is a charcoal lab named Zeus. We enjoy being outdoors as much as we can, mostly being around our horses (Cricket and Luke) and working with cows. We enjoy duck hunting, swimming at the lake, fishing, and anything else that might include being outside. Clara and I enjoy jamming out to music whenever we get the chance. I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in our lives at Eureka Springs School District!

Help us welcome our new Band Director to the district!! 🎼 “Hello all! My name is JonPaul Dean and I am joining Eureka Springs Schools as the new director of bands. I am excited to get started with my second year of teaching and sharing my love of music with the community. I grew up in Berryville, Arkansas until I finished 5th grade, after which I moved to Branson, Missouri and completed 6th-12th grade. In the summer of 2014, right after graduating high school, I auditioned and marched with Gold Drum and Bugle Corps as part of Drum Corps International. After completing my season with Gold, I attended college at Missouri State University where I received my BME in Instrumental Music Education in May of 2020. I was very active in music since arriving at MSU, participating in the MSU Pride Marching Band, Wind Ensemble, Orchestra, Jazz Studies I Ensemble, Trombone Choir, Trombone Octet, Trombone Quartet, and even two semesters in a euphonium quartet. In addition to playing in all of the top ensembles available to me, I had the opportunity to perform at the Missouri Music Educators Association conference, the College Band Directors National Association conference, the Kauffman Center in Kansas CIty, and in New York City with the Jazz Studies I Ensemble. As a member of the MSU Trombone Octet, I performed at the Midwest Trombone Euphonium Conference (Eastern Illinois University), in a special concert with the Trombones of the St. Louis Symphony (Sheldon Concert Hall), The Big XII Trombone Conference (Texas Tech University), and the American Trombone Workshop (Washington, DC). I completed my student teaching at Lebanon R-III School District in the Spring of 2020, but had worked with their band program for several years prior as a private lessons teacher and Low Brass Technician. My family lives in the area, so I enjoy being able to see them much more often. Some of the things I enjoy doing are floating the river in a kayak, cooking (especially if it’s something I’ve never made before), learning new instruments, and spending time with my Goldendoodle, Iggy. He is the sweetest, most energetic goofball of a dog- but he’s mine and I love him. I have been teaching myself guitar for a little over a year now, and I’m very much enjoying both the process and the instrument. If you happen to play, I would love to sit down and jam sometime."

Hello everyone! My name is Amy Maliska and I am joining the Eureka Springs Elementary/Middle School family as the new library media specialist.
My family has just moved to the area from Foley, Alabama. I have been a public librarian for over 20 years and was the Youth Services Librarian at the Thomas B. Norton Public Library in Gulf Shores, Alabama for the last 10 years.
My husband, Paul and I have 2 kids, Joshua (24) and Skylar (21). We enjoy going to the lake for jet skiing and boating, kayaking, hiking, and riding side-by-sides and getting dirty in the mud. I love reading and music and spending time with family.
My husband grew up in Eureka Springs and most of his family still lives in the area, so this move is like coming home.
I am very excited to start this new chapter in my library career and can’t wait to share my love of reading with everyone!

In light of the current situation with the Delta Variant of Covid-19 and in an effort to ensure all learners are successful, Eureka Springs School District is considering a virtual learning option for the 2021-22 school year.
If you are a parent/guardian in the Eureka Springs District, we are asking for your input. Please complete an online interest survey at https://forms.gle/vMh6FW6y8nBd6QbZ9.
Responding that your student is interested in a virtual learning option does NOT represent a commitment that a virtual option will be available. The data collected in this survey will be used for planning purposes only.
We appreciate your feedback!
