TEACHER BIO

Lana Rieck

My name is Lana Rieck, and I am excited to work with families of the Alma School District. As the Elementary School Counselor, I am here to assist with students’ educational, personal/social, and career developmental needs.

I am very invested in our district as I am a 1986 graduate of the Alma School District. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in social Work from Winona State University, and a Master's Degree in Guidance and Counseling from UW-Stout. After working several years as an elementary counselor in Sun Prairie, WI, I was fortunate to be hired as a School Counselor here.

My husband Marvin and I live in Alma, and we have a blended family, which consists of five children. Our entire family, including Marvin, graduated from the Alma School District.

I am amazed by our staffs’ commitment to our students, families and our community. The staff respects our students and instills self-worth and confidence in each individual which creates an atmosphere of mutual trust. Our district has high expectations, yet realistic and reasonable, which creates a sense of pride and accomplishment.

The Alma School District is a hidden gem in the middle of what’s referred to as “God’s Country”. The natural beauty of the hills, rivers, and valleys provides great scenic beauty and an abundance of outdoor activities.

I feel so blessed to be part of this district and our community, and I am here to assist you in any way that I am able.
