About Us

Chad Marohn was born and raised in Neenah, WI. He attended Trinity Lutheran Elementary School and Fox Valley Lutheran High School. It is at Fox Valley Lutheran where he met his wife Ann. They have been blessed with six children: Bryce, Megan, Ty, Luke, Caitlin, and Faith.
After graduating from MLC in 1999, Chad was assigned to St. Mark Lutheran School in Eau Claire, WI. He served there for eleven years as upper grade teacher and principal. In 2010 the Marohns moved to Lannon, WI when Chad accepted a call to serve as teacher and principal at St. John’s Lutheran. After seven years at St. John’s the Marohns have been a part of the St. Paul’s Church and School family since 2016.

Andy Dais was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. After graduating from Martin Luther College, he was assigned to teach 5-6 th grades at Redeemer Lutheran in Tucson, AZ. After growing to love the desert in his five and a half years there, he was a casualty of budget cuts. After returning home to Wisconsin, he received three straight one-year calls in Jefferson, Madison, and Lake Mills. Since then, life has returned to a more stable state. While visiting his best friend for a spring break trip, he was introduced to Bonnie. A few years later, they were married. Since then, they have been blessed with their daughter, Grace. As an active toddler, she keeps Andy and Bonnie on their toes. In his free time, Andy enjoys traveling, woodworking, spending time with family, and learning more information about his ever-changing latest obsession. Perhaps his longest lasting passion has been his fandom of the Brewers and Bucks. What a great time to be a fan!

God has blessed my life in a variety of ways! I was born in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, grew up in Fort Myers, Florida, went to high school at Onalaska Luther (near La Crosse, Wisconsin), and received my bachelor’s degree in education at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota. My assignment upon graduation from MLC was to teach 9th grade science, be the head tennis coach for the boys and girls teams, and a tutor (housemother) in the dormitory at Luther Preparatory High School in Watertown, Wisconsin. After two years of teaching there, I was called by Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw, Michigan to teach 9th grade science, be the head of Student Council and serve as a tutor (housemother) in the dormitory. I am blessed with a wonderful spouse, Pastor Aaron Mueller. We enjoyed his vicar year at Lord of Life in Thornton, Colorado. Upon graduating from the Seminary, Aaron received a call to be pastor at St. Mark’s in Eau Claire, WI. While serving there, God blessed us with two girls, Elise and Rachel. During this time, I worked towards and received my Minnesota State teaching license. God then led Aaron to be a pastor at Shepherd of the Hills in Tucson, Arizona. Here were blessed with our third daughter, Talia. About four years ago, Aaron accepted a call to Howards Grove, Wisconsin and we are greatly enjoying our time serving the Lord here! During our time here, I have taught all subjects in the 5-6 grades and have taught science, reading, history, english, music, and art in the 7-8 grades. I am currently teaching all subjects in the 3rd and 4th grades and am thoroughly enjoying it! A few of my hobbies would be: enjoying time with my husband and three children, hiking, traveling, tennis, playing the piano, reading, and enjoying God’s creation by exploring the outdoors.

My name is Dawn Johnson, and I teach grades 1-2 at St. Paul’s. As a Christian teacher, I will let each student know that he/she is loved by his/her Savior. I will use a variety of teaching methods, because I have a variety of learners in my classroom. I will strive to provide for each student’s spiritual, social, emotional, physical, and academic growth. I believe that the parent-teacher partnership is crucial to a child’s success in school. My goal is to to make my classroom a place where each student wants to come and continue the adventure of learning. I attended St. Matthew Lutheran School in Spokane, WA, for grades 1-8. I graduated from Evergreen Lutheran High School, DuPont, WA, in 1984. In 1988, I received a Bachelor of Science degree from Dr. Martin Luther College in elementary education, with emphases in social studies and mathematics. I have experience teaching Pre School through College at various schools in Minnesota, Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin. I have attended various workshops and conferences over the years relating to things such as brain development, reading, music, and technology. I was born and raised near Readan, WA, where my parents still operate our family farm. I am the oldest of seven children. I met my husband, Greg, at Dr. Martin Luther College. We have been married for 30 years. We have four children and two grandchildren. James is 28 years old and an agricultural equipment design engineer for Erskine Attachments. He, his wife Rachel, and their son Riley live in Bemidji, MN. Stephanie is 24 years old and teaches grades 3-4 at Peace Lutheran School, Green Lake, WI. Zandra, 23, works for Health Partners as the media specialist in their education department. She, her husband Warren, and their son Asher live in Roseville, MN. Zachary, age 20, is currently enrolled in his third year at Martin Luther College as a vocal and instrumental music major. I enjoy playing volleyball, riding bike, cross-stitching, and doing sudoku puzzles. I also enjoy playing board and card games with my family and spending time with my grandchildren. I like to collect Coca-Cola memorabilia.

Hello! My name is Molly and this is my first year teaching Kindergarten at St. Paul’s! I am from La Crosse, WI. I attended Onalaska Luther High School and then continued my education at Martin Luther College. At MLC I pursued a degree in Elementary Education. Ever since I was in Kindergarten, I knew I wanted to be a teacher! Throughout my college years, my love for teaching and working with children has continued to grow! I am so greatly looking forward to having my own classroom. I graduated from MLC with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and have obtained a Minnesota State Teaching License. As, I begin my first year of ministry, I hope to use the talents that God has given me to truly make a positive impact in the lives of my students and the congregation in which I serve. I pray that I will model the love my Savior through my words and actions each day, seizing every opportunity to tell little children more about Jesus. At MLC, I also met my husband, Nathan. We just got married this past June! He is heading into his second year at MLHS teaching Geography, World History, and Computer Applications to freshman and sophomores. We are so incredibly in awe of the ways in which God continues to bless us and carry out His plans for us each day. Outside of school, we enjoy traveling to new places, spending time with our families, cooking, hiking, and enjoying music together! We are so excited to move to the Howards Grove area and be members of the St. Paul’s congregation.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord… Jeremiah 29:11   I am Ann Marohn and I teach 4K at St Paul’s.  I have been involved in some form of early childhood education for almost 20 years.  I have a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences degree for Speech and Language Pathology from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.  Soon after graduation my husband, Chad and I were married, and God has continually blessed us through our 6 children! 

Every day I stand amazed at the blessings that God continues to pour out on our lives and the ministries that my husband and our family have been privileged to be a part of.  While our children grew, our family lived in Eau Claire, WI (11 years) and also in Lannon, WI (7 years).  During this time, I was able to be a part of multiple Christ-centered, community outreach programs for children and caregivers.  With a focus on families, early childhood, and Jesus, my interest in education was fueled.  I began teaching preschool in 2014 at Lambs of Christ in Pewaukee, WI.  In 2015, I accepted a call to begin a preschool program at St. Johns in Lannon, WI.  The years that we spent deeply involved with the families in Eau Claire, Pewaukee and Lannon, will always be close to our family and in our hearts.   In 2017, my husband and I moved to Howards Grove and in 2018, I accepted the call to be the 4K teacher at St. Pauls!  As the ministry and families here have quickly grown close to our hearts, I am thrilled every day, to learn more about the community around us.  I am currently seeking to obtain my masters degree in Early Childhood Education/Director Emphasis. 

My excitement for early childhood education grows each day.  With the help of the Holy Spirit, little children are able to learn about the saving message of Jesus.  As they learn, these children are able to express a love for their Savior, in a way that is motivating and simply a pleasure to be a part of!  As we do not know the plans that will unfold each day, I pray that we are all able to enjoy the time that is before us, embracing the privilege of serving this congregation and the children that God has blessed this ministry with!  And as we grow in God’s grace together, I pray we will continue on with the confidence that His eternal plan gives!

I was born and raised in the La Crosse area, attending Immanuel Lutheran School, Luther High School, and Dr. Martin Luther College. I graduated in 1990 with a major in Social Studies and a minor in English. I met my wife, Dawn, at DMLC. We have four children and two grandchildren.
I have taught in Arizona (the Apache Mission), Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin in various capacities with grades ranging from second to eighth grade. In my spare time, I enjoy model railroading and woodworking. (If I’m not in school, you can probably find me in my workshop.) I also enjoy following the Wisconsin sports teams.

I received my teaching degree at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh after beginning my education with 1-1/2 years at Silver Lake College in Manitowoc, WI. Additional training was received at various universities including the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA. I was also able to spend a summer semester at the University of Toluca, in Toluca, Mexico where I received two semesters of Spanish language training. My teaching career began in 1968 as I worked with young children in the “Head Start” program at Reedsville, WI. This assignment was followed by several years as a fourth-grade teacher at Franklin Elementary School in Manitowoc, WI. An opportunity to teacher in the Sheboygan Area School District took me to Cleveland Elementary School in Cleveland, WI where there was an opportunity to team teach in grades 5 and 6. After 17 years at Cleveland Elementary School I moved to an assignment to teach math at Urban Junior High School in Sheboygan, WI. This assignment was followed by a move to Pigeon River School, in Sheboygan, WI where I taught fourth and fifth grade. Then I was blessed to become a teacher in the gifted and talented program at Pigeon River, Jefferson, Washington, and Lincoln-Erdman Schools for the final five years of my 43-year full-time teaching career. Through the grace of our Lord, I was able to teach Sunday school St. John-St. Peter Lutheran Church in Cleveland for 31 years. My family includes my husband, Will, one son Scott and his family of three adult children, and our daughter-in-law Amy and her two children who are in the fourth and first grade. I enjoy gardening, reading, travel, and teaching. I am thankful for the blessings that our Lord gives to us through our church and school. Yours in Christ, Eileen Belitz

I began helping as teaching aide in the 4k classroom in the fall of 2020. Prior to this I served as the Hot Lunch Coordinator, and prior to that I worked as a 4K Afternoon Daycare Supervisor from 2015 until 2018. I have enjoyed working with the children at St. Paul’s Lutheran School in any capacity that I have been given.

Mrs. Susan Phelps began piano lesson when in second grade and started playing the organ for church services in eighth grade. She continued her music and teaching training at Dr. Martin Luther College, New Ulm, MN. She enjoys sharing the joy that music brings with students. Preparing future church musicians is also her goal. Mrs. Phelps believes in keeping lessons fresh and motivating. She lives in Plymouth with her husband, Tom. They have three grown children. She loves history and works part-time at the Wade House Historic Site. “Next to the Word of God, the noble art of MUSIC is the greatest treasure in the world.” - Martin Luther

Mrs. Radue grew up on a beautiful farm just outside of Oostburg, WI. She attended St. Paul’s Howards Grove for grade school and Manitowoc Lutheran High School graduating in 2011. She spent a couple years at St. Marcus Lutheran School where she found her passion for serving the Lord within a school system. Erin met her husband Justin in high school, dated shortly after, and married in 2017. They have a daughter named Charlotte and a son names Emerson. She loves spending time with her family, playing volleyball and softball, fishing, hunting, watching the Bucks and Packers, and cooking.

Hello, my name is Kelly Wall and I’ve been serving as the Hot Lunch Coordinator at St. Paul’s since 2019. My husband is Pastor Steven Wall. We met at my home church in Port Washington, WI while he was attending Seminary. His first call was to La Crescent, MN where we spent seven years and were blessed with three of our children, August, Robbie, and Elinor. His second call took us to Juneau, AK for six years. Our fourth child, Elaine, was born there. His third call brought us to St. John-St. Peter Lutheran Church in Cleveland, WI where we have been for almost three years. I love being able to encourage and support Steve in his ministry and serve in whatever ways that I can. I especially love singing, baking, and cooking.
