Tia Schlichting, Activities Secretary, multi-tasker, and soon-to-be mom!
Hello! I am Tia Schlichting, Activities Director Secretary of Pierz School District. I am starting my 8th year at the district. There are many different 'hats' you may see me wearing here at school. During the school year you may be welcomed by me at the front door of the high school or you may catch me at the checkout point of the lunch line. During the summer you might find me checking in school supplies in one of the classrooms.
I grew up living on private Hannah Lake in Hillman, MN with my grandpa. My first job was working at the family owned Stuffy's Meat Market in Hillman, MN. After graduating from Onamia High School, I went on to Central Lakes College in Brainerd where I earned a degree in Accounting. I had no specific career in mind at the time, I just knew that I enjoyed working with numbers and problem solving.
In 2017 my high school sweetheart, Andy, and I got married in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. My husband and I live on a chicken farm in Buckman, MN. We are expecting our first child in March 2019. We are overjoyed and so excited for this change in our lives as we transition to parenthood!
What I love about my job is that each day is different than the last. Watching the students pursue their goals and dreams is inspiring to watch and be a part of. I have also been lucky to work and learn from some great colleagues, too! I am grateful and thankful for being able to be a part of the Pioneer Team! Working closely with Dave Rocheleau as a key support, organizer, and all-around 'doer', he is grateful to work alongside Tia's efficient-ness :)
