Paraprofessional for High School High School

I earned a BA in elementary education from Northwestern with endorsements in K-12 special ed and K-12 reading. I went on to get my Master’s from Morningside College. I’m married to Joel (HS English and Speech teacher). We live in Orange City with our 3 children.

Mr. Stauffer is a part of the MOC-Floyd Valley family as a teacher, coach, volunteer, and fan. He is originally from Greene, Iowa, but now resides in Orange City with his lovely wife, Laura, and their children, William, Thomas, and Emily. Stauffer has received his BA and MA degrees from the University of Northern Iowa in the fields of Communication, Theatre Arts, and English education. Currently, he serves as MOC-Floyd Valley High School’s 11th grade Speech/English teacher as well as the head large group and individual events speech coach. He has served as a judge, district officer, and contest/All-State official for the Iowa High School Speech Association. Mr. Stauffer believes that speech and performance are two of the most worthwhile activities for developing self-confidence in young people. Other activities to which Stauffer volunteers his time include: announcing at or participating in various school-related functions, announcing at the Tulip Festival Mode Show, and crewing for a local hot air balloon “Up and Atom.”

I grew up in Morrison, Illinois where most of my family still lives. I graduated from Dordt University in 2015 with a Secondary Education and Mathematics degree and I graduated Northwestern College in 2019 with my masters in education. I added a Computer Science endorsement from UNI in 2024. In addition to teaching, I coach football and teach Drivers Ed.

I earned my teaching degree from Morningside College in 1995, and I have been teaching ever since. I’m currently in my 31st year of teaching after spending time in the classrooms of Iowa Falls, West Sioux, South O’Brien, and now MOC-FV. I live in Sioux Center with my husband, Harv, who works at Western Christian High School. Our daughter, Sadie, is married to Nick Te Slaa, and she teaches high school biology and ELL biology at Sioux Center High School. Our son, Jacob, is married to Katlyn, and he teaches 5th grade history and writing at Sheldon Middle School. I am so blessed to be part of the Dutch family, and I look forward to working with your children in English I!

I grew up in Marcus, Ia. I went to Buena Vista for 2 years and then transferred to UNI. I am married to Tom Rupp and we have 3 boys.
