Denecke joined the school board because he has always been one to volunteer to service our community. He is proud to say that he has had three children go through schooling at Brookwood and has one more at the middle school and with his roots deep within the schools --he wanted to make sure that he continues to have others see how great Brookwood is and help in the growth of our school district. What he enjoys most about being a part of the school board is being able to see the interworking of the district while hearing directly from the administration and staff. What makes Denecke most proud about Brookwood is the staff and administration--their commitment and dedication to Brookwood and our children growing into greatness is unlimited.

Larson believe that schools are the essence of a community, and serving on the Genoa City Jt. 2 School Board to support students, families, and staff is an honor. As a Genoa City resident for 19 years, she has had the privilege to watch the community schools grow and evolve.  As an educator herself, she is highly passionate about student success and providing a well-rounded and diverse experience for all students. Her oldest son began his education at Brookwood Elementary School in Kindergarten and graduated from college in 2021; she attributes his success and preparation to our schools and community’s support, while her current middle schooler taking advantage of the variety of opportunities Genoa City offers.

Larson believes there are so many things to choose from when thinking about pride in our schools. However, she was most impressed with how the School Board and Leadership team continues to respond to challenging and unprecedented times, and sincerely appreciate all the dedication and time that has been placed upon our teachers and staff. Communication, transparency, and honesty are pillars of quality school districts and Genoa City Schools continue to make this a focus.
