Hello! My name is Taylor Dengler, and I teach 7th grade general music, 7th and 8th grade girls choir and middle school show choir, and assist with all of the high school choral groups and activities.
Hello, my name is Jordan Meyer. I grew up in the small town of Calmar which is located just south of Decorah in northeast Iowa. I love hunting, fishing, board games, card games, and spending time with family and friends. In the summer of 2021, I moved to Atkins with my wife, Meridith, and daughter, Moira. Our family grew last July with the birth of our son, Leo. This is our first year as Benton Bobcats. I hope that my family and I are a good contribution to the school and community.
