Hi everyone! My name is Heather Sieh and I am the counselor here at Huron Middle School and also an 8th grade stripes teacher. I grew up in Florence, SD. I have three sisters and am the second oldest in my family. After graduating high school I moved to Aberdeen and I lived there for 11 years until I moved to Huron in August of this year. I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology with specializations in Human Services and Criminal Justice in 2009 and I just graduated with my master’s degree in School Counseling in May 2015. This will be my first year as a school counselor! I have 5 ½ years of experience working with children and families outside of the school setting but I am looking forward to my experience here in Huron! Outside of school I like to spend time with my family, especially my three nephews. In my spare time I also like to sing, travel, go to amusement parks, go to concerts, shop, exercise, play sports (especially basketball, volleyball, and softball) and spend time with friends. I am looking forward to getting to know students, parents, and the staff here at Huron Middle School! I believe this will be the best job I have had yet and am looking forward to a great year! |

This is my 35th year teaching in the Huron School District. My most recent teaching assignment is 6th-8th grade Physical Education. I have been active in this role since 2000. Some of you may remember me as an 8th grade American History teacher. I held that position from 1987-2000. I also coach in our school district. I am currently coaching Girls' Basketball and also help out with the varsity track program. I was also very lucky to be the head football and boys' basketball coach and assist in the Cross Country program with legendary coach Roger Loecker. I have been very fortunate to work with a lot of outstanding students during my teaching and coaching career.

Hi, my name is Tammy Barnes. I am currently teaching 6th grade vocabulary, 7th grade writing, and 8th grade careers. My husband John and I have 4 children and 5 grandsons. We raised our children in Miller, SD where I taught for several years. Before teaching, I worked with Cornerstones Career Learning Center as a School to Work facilitator in the Miller school district, which gave me a great foundation for teaching my 8th grade career class. We moved to Huron 10 years ago and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to be teaching at Huron Middle School.
