Julie Johnson
Science Teacher
Where do you live?
I live in Becker with my husband, Jamie, and our two children, Jalissa and Jakob. We also have 2 dogs and 2 cats.
Why did you become a teacher?
One of the reasons I wanted to become a teacher is because I knew I wanted to make a difference. My grandmother was also a teacher. She died before I was born, but friends and neighbors would often tell me stories of how she made a difference in their lives and I wanted to carry that on. My grandfather lived with us when I was growing up and he really sparked my desire to teach science. He was very knowledgeable about nature and taught me a lot about plants, animals and soil.
BlueSky meets the needs of students on many different levels.
Why did you choose BlueSky?
I chose BlueSky because it is nontraditional. I wanted to be a part of something innovative, challenging and different.
What do you think makes BlueSky special?
The staff is very motivated and driven. I like working with people who do what they say they will do. Another important aspect is the students. Our students are very diverse, and I appreciate them all.
What do you like to do when you’re not teaching?
When I am not teaching, we enjoy spending time on the lake. My children and husband ride and race dirt bikes. I prefer to stay on four wheels, so I ride the 4 wheeler. I also own a greenhouse and enjoy gardening.
If there were one thing you could tell people about BlueSky, what would it be?
