Paige Mokma: I am excited to be joining Hamilton Community Schools for several reasons. I have consistently heard wonderful things about Hamilton and the strong sense of community it fosters. Hamilton truly embodies community, even in its name. I value building meaningful relationships with students both inside and outside the classroom, and I look forward to being part of a district that prioritizes those connections. Additionally, my family recently moved into the district, and my children, Addison and Austin, will also be joining the Hamilton community at Bentheim Elementary. My husband, Rob, is a Hamilton alumnus and has always spoken very positively about his experience in the district. A few fun facts about me: My favorite holiday is Pi Day. I have previously taught Geometry, Precalculus, AP Calculus, and Physics. I also have a cat named Leonardo Di-Cat-Rio.

I am blessed to be the Food Service Supervisor for Hamilton Community Schools. I grew up in Mount Pleasant, MI. I graduated from the Great Lakes Culinary Institute in Traverse City, MI. I was a Sous Chef at Purdue University, the School Nutrition Director at West Michigan Academy of Environmental Science, and a Food Service Manager at Grand Valley State University. My wife, Hayley, and I have two beautiful little girls, Everly (5) and Adalae (3), and a little boy named Johnny. I love to cook, play basketball, disc golf, and spend time with my family. I love learning new things and living life to the fullest. I am very excited to be a Hawkeye and look forward to a great school year!”
