“Growing up, the music/band room was always a safe space for me to be myself and be creative,” said Tori. I wanted to make sure that other kids have the same safe space in school that I did to be creative and unapologetically themselves!”
In her spare time she likes to hang out with her husband and play video games and loves anything to do with sports.
Welcome Tori!
Why did you choose to work at Central Public Schools?
I enjoyed meeting everyone on the Special Education Team and felt like it was a great learning environment!
What led you to a career in education?
I worked as a paraprofessional previously, and it sparked my love for special education and working with students with unique abilities and strengths! I love being able to make a positive impact and create a safe and welcoming learning environment for them!
What was your favorite subject when you were a K-12 student?
I loved science classes!
What do you like to do for fun?
In my free time I love going to the gym, trying new coffee shops, and going boating on Lake Minnetonka!
Welcome Lily!
“I previously spent a year at Central Middle School and loved it so I wanted to come back after having my baby.”
She says that experiencing the difference that a great teacher can make inspired her to have a career in education and that her favorite subject as a student was reading. In her free time she likes to spend time with her husband and baby boy, going for walks, and finding new coffee shops and restaurants.
Welcome back Abby!

Jaron Gross will be joining our district as the 6-12 Choir Director, let’s learn more about him!
Why did you choose to work at Central Public Schools?
During my interview I could tell that both the community and administration have a strong passion and support for the music program, and that is something that I am excited to contribute to.
What led you to a career in education?
My teachers! It’s a generic answer, but a good educator can make a huge difference in a student’s life, and I want to do that for my future students!
What was your favorite subject when you were a K-12 student?
Both band and choir! I was always in the music wing, from middle school, through college. I was even the Drum Major of my college marching band!
What do you like to do for fun?
I am an avid Minnesota sports fan, for better or worse, so I love cheering on the home team with reckless abandon, even if it ends in heartbreak.

Stiftungsfest Pep Band Performance
Date: Sunday, Aug. 24
Time: 10:30–11:15 a.m.
Where: Stiftungsfest Festival Grounds
Rehearsals begin Monday, August 11 from 1-3 p.m., and will continue Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday for two weeks. I’ve scheduled these rehearsals to avoid fall sports practices and allow for maximum participation.
Incoming freshmen are especially encouraged to join; this is a great way to meet your fellow band members and get a head start before school begins!
Bonus: We’ll premiere the official Colorado 2025 Tour Video right after our first rehearsal on August 11 (around 2:30 p.m.) you won’t want to miss it!
Mark your calendars!!!
