Welcome to Our New Staff Members!

One of the many reasons Hudson is such a fantastic school district is because we value community. We are a team. With that in mind, I would like to welcome our new teachers and staff for the 2022-23 school year!

Maggie Driscol will be our next third-grade teacher. She grew up in La Porte City, Iowa, and holds a degree from the University of Northern Iowa. Ms. Driscol enjoys walking, reading, playing or watching sports, spending time with loved ones, and spending time at the beach.

A native of Bloomfield, Iowa, Jordan Lough will teach sixth grade this school year. Last December, she graduated from the University of Northern Iowa. Ms. Lough likes to spend her free time with her friends and family or on walks with her fiance and their dog, Paisley. 

Annie Smith is our newest kindergarten teacher. She grew up in Cedar Falls, and received her associate degree from Hawkeye Community College. Two years ago, Ms. Smith decided to go back to school at Upper Iowa University’s Waterloo campus to earn her bachelor's degree in elementary education, graduating in May 2022. When she’s not teaching, Ms. Smith loves spending time with her husband and three children outdoors, especially when they are able to take their boat to the lake for fishing and swimming.

Gabby Terril joins us as a consumer science teacher, as well as a work-based learning teacher. She is originally from Aplington, Iowa, and graduated this past May from Iowa State University. In her free time, Ms. Terril likes to spend time with her family, bake, and go to movies with her husband, Jaydan.

Alexis Brouillette will be teaching high school math. She grew up in Hudson and went to Hudson schools! After high school, Ms. Brouillette attended Iowa State University and earned a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, along with a master of business administration degree. She is also currently enrolled in Morningside University’s teaching licensure program. For fun, Ms. Brouilette likes to spend time with her family outdoors, go on walks, and travel. Ms. Brouillette and her husband have a mini aussiedoodle, and they welcomed their first child on May 25!

Michelle McPoland will serve as a social worker, dividing her time between our district, Union Community, and Galdbrook-Reinbeck. She is from Waterloo and she received her undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Iowa. Ms. McPoland enjoys spending time with her family (especially her two kids), as well as reading, watching sports, and watching movies.

Christina Cortez will be teaching Spanish at our middle and high school. She grew up in Des Moines and went to the University of Northern Iowa. In her free time, Ms. Cortez likes to spend time with her family, travel (especially internationally), read, listen to music, and volunteer in her community. 

Please join me in welcoming Maggie, Jordan, Annie, Gabby, Alexis, Michelle, and Christina to the Hudson Community School District!
