I grew up in Wahpeton, North Dakota and graduated from Wahpeton Senior High in 2006. I decided to follow in my father’s footsteps and become a teacher. I graduated from Minnesota State University of Moorhead with a Bachelor of Science in Education. I have taught 4th grade, 6th grade social studies and 8th grade social studies. I graduated from Minnesota State University Moorhead with a Masters degree in Educational Leadership in 2019.

My wife DeAnna graduated from Wahpeton as well. We have two daughters, Jocelyn and Isla. Jocelyn is 3 years old and loves playing at the park, going to the pool and baking. Isla is 1 and enjoys playing with her sister, playing with dolls, dancing and going for walks. We enjoy spending time together as a family and enjoy the wonderful community in Watford City. Go Wolves!

Hello! My name is Mrs. Wold, I am the assistant principal at Fox Hills Elementary School! I graduated from Dickinson State University in 2015 with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. In 2022, I graduated from the University of Mary with my master’s degree in elementary administration. I was a 5th grade teacher for many years in the district before moving into administration, and it has been such a fulfilling experience working with students in a variety of settings. 
When I’m not at school, I love spending time with my son and husband. We ranch and raise cattle north of Watford City, so that keeps us very busy in our downtime. I also enjoy hiking in the badlands, taking pictures, and snuggling my pets!
