My name is Ali Blake and I live in Sutherland, Nebraska with my husband Zach, and two kiddos, Dean (almost 4) and Jordan (2). I earned my bachelor's degree in English Education from CSC in 2018. I am currently in my 7th year of teaching 9-12 English at North Platte St. Patrick's High School. I received my first master's degree in English Education in 2021 from VCSU. Now, I'm pursuing my second master's in Educational Administration from CSC!

For the past five years, I have been the SkillsUSA advisor for the North Platte St. Pat's chapter. A co-worker and I kick-started this organization as a way to expose our students to what the world of work has to offer. Our school does not offer shop, FCS, FFA, or anything related to the technical side of the workforce. Here are my kiddos representing Nebraska in Atlanta for National SkillsUSA in 2023. For the past two years, our OCC (Opening & Closing Ceremonies) team has placed 2nd at Nationals. We're going for gold this year!
