My name is Melanie Gifford and this will be my 3rd year here in Hugoton, KS. My entire family is made up of teachers, so I always knew growing up that that's what I was going to be. My dad is the high school principal in Hugoton (crazy, huh?) and my mom is now a librarian over at Liberal Middle School. It is AWESOME to have them in Hugoton with me. My brother is also currently deciding if he wants to go back to college to be a teacher or not.
I attended Kansas State University and loved every second of it. I still enjoy going back to watch football games and to see friends that are still in that area. K-State isn't the only team I root for, though. I also enjoy watching Notre Dame football and Duke basketball. Here in Hugoton, I coach high school basketball and high school volleyball. It's fun for me to be able to know kids at all age levels throughout the district!
I just got married last March to Brock Gifford, who grew up in Hugoton. For hobbies, we like to travel, make improvements on the house (ha!), go to sporting events, and hang out with our dog, Sophie! I'm getting used to the fact that Hugoton will most likely be my "home" for awhile!!
