Pleaes welome the New Junior High Math and Science Teacher for 2025-26 at THS
My name is Rhysa Smith. I am excited to be joining Tulelake Basin Joint Unified School District as a middle school math and science teacher. I hold a bachelor’s in education from WGU and will graduate with my Master’s later this year. I have taught in Texas and most recently in Butte Valley. I am looking forward to the opportunities to learn and grow from veteran teachers at the high school and building relationships in a community I have heard nothing but great things about.
Please welcome the New Math and Business Teacher for 25-26 at THS
Hi, I’m Cole Johnson.
I grew up farming and ranching in Klamath and Modoc county. Growing up, I remember all the kids from Tule being kind and respectful. I look forward to learning from the staff who helped shape those behaviors. I like doing all the numbers stuff, such as crop projections and cash flow sheets for others, and running my own farming operation. I’m also a big fan of the stock market, the global economy, and basketball. I’ll gladly tell you everything I know.
I’m really looking forward to teaching math to the middle school students, teaching the practicality of math to the high schoolers with the financial literacy class, and getting students prepared for college and the real world with the AVID program. It seems that Tulelake has a great staff and I want to learn as much as I can from them so I can be the best I can for students.

On Thursday, May 29, over 1500 kindergartners and graduating high school seniors from over 40 schools across Klamath County, Lake County, and Northern California will join together for a celebratory parade down Main Street in downtown Klamath Falls, starting at 12 noon! All graduating high school seniors will then gather in Veterans Park for an Awards and Scholarship distribution of more than $50,000 in locally raised scholarships and gift cards from more than 37 local donors...supporting our seniors with more than $1000 per minute! We encourage supporters to line up between 9th and 2nd Street.
Congratulations 2025 Graduates on your Success Through Education!

My name is Danika Flores, and I’m excited to join the Tulelake community and make a meaningful impact on my students. I graduated from California State University, Chico, with a degree in Agricultural Business and Agricultural Education. I recently completed my student teaching at Willows High School and am looking forward to experiencing the close-knit environment and strong sense of community at Tulelake.
I’m originally from Nipomo, California, and was deeply involved in FFA throughout high school. I was a member of the state-winning Milk Quality and Dairy Products team and later placed third in the nation. In addition to my experience in Milk Quality and Dairy Products, I also have a background in Livestock Judging, Horse Judging, and various speaking contests. I'm passionate about agricultural education and eager to grow alongside my students while learning more about them and the programs offered here.
I am Jannette Garcia, but go by Jenny and Mrs. Garcia in class. I am excited about the opportunity to join the staff at Tulelake Basin Elementary School, particularly in supporting ELD students. I have been teaching at Butte Valley for four years. Change can be hard, but exciting at the same time. This change is not taken lightly, as I grow in my own career I want to be able to take in as much as I can in my early years of teaching. I want to learn from as many great teachers and leaders as I can and to be the best teacher I can be. I know that joining the Tulelake community (which I have heard great things about) is the right move for me. I am ready to continue my teaching and dedication to our youth and prepare them for their future classes. I am eager to be part of the meaningful work happening at Tulelake Basin Elementary and to make a positive impact in the lives of students and their families.
