Dana Neal
Librarian
Siegrist Elementary
This is my 28th year of teaching - all within the Platte County R-3 District. This is my first year as librarian, as I previously taught second grade. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Emporia State University and my Master’s Degree in Curriculum & Instruction from the University of Kansas.
My husband, Lance, and I both grew up in Caldwell, a small (very small) farming community in south-central Kansas. My family raised wheat and cattle.
I currently live in Piper, Kansas (near the Legends). My older daughter, Abigail, is a recent graduate from KU and is working in North Carolina with the EPA before she starts her law degree. My younger daughter, Megan, will return to Emporia State as a junior, currently working on an education degree. We have 2 dogs, Lucy and Ember, and a cat, Carmen.
