With Catie Hays’s decision to accept a position in a neighboring district, a drama teacher and directing position opened up.

Chase King is about to embark on a new journey at Fremont. “I am very excited. I have only heard positive things about the community and the school. I am excited to work with a group that has an appreciation for theater,” King said.

Many of his responses show that he is excited and thrilled to be coming to Fremont. King is currently teaching at Waverly High School in Waverly, Nebraska, and transitioning to a new school will be a significant change for him. 

Chase King’s academic achievements are a testament to his qualifications.  “I hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Peru State,” Kind said, “I am currently pursuing my second Master’s in Communications from UNK.”

King’s credentials show he is qualified for this position. “I went to Wayne State College. I graduated with a Communications degree and then went back to get my endorsement in Language Arts (English, Theater, Speech, and Journalism).” King said.

King proves he is ready for this new position at Fremont, “I am excited to see how we can all grow with each other. I think if we are growing as thespians and as people, we are doing something right.” 

King has been expecting some of the challenges: “Every school has different expectations, traditions, and culture.” King said, “It takes a while to understand that. I know there will be a bit of culture shock, but with friends close by and some cool assistants, I know that we as a company will prevail.” 

King will meet with the current assistant over the summer to discuss this,     so he will be prepared for the 2024-2025 school year.
