Kimberly Totten (Class of 1986) 

From marching band memories to emergency response roles, Kimberly Totten’s journey has been anything but ordinary! She’s worked as a veterinary tech, ER secretary, and emergency dispatcher for the Springfield Police & Fire Departments and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Now beginning her 21st year of teaching, Kimberly continues to make an impact—just like the educators who inspired her: Dee Lewis, Ed Perego, Rick Siebert, and the always-memorable Mr. Cantrell, whom she once asked:
"Why would anyone invent trigonometry?"

Advice to Her High School Self:
"You are enough."
