Meet Tori Meehl: New 3rd Grade Teacher!

Tori was born and raised in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. She pursued her college education at Minnesota State University Moorhead and graduated in December of 2025 with a degree in Elementary Education. Before graduating, Tori completed her student teaching in 3rd grade at Oakes Elementary with Mrs. Petersen. She is incredibly grateful for everything she learned from Mrs. Petersen and is excited to carry those experiences with her as she begins her journey teaching 3rd grade!

Mrs. Meehl says, โ€œMy dad has been a teacher for over 30 years and has always been a role model for me. Growing up, I saw the positive impact he made on so many students, which inspired me to want to do the same. Iโ€™ve always known I wanted to be a teacher and hope to make that same kind of impact on my own learners.โ€

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, being outside, exercising, and enjoying newlywed life with her husband, Garret.

She is excited to officially join the Oakes Elementary team and begin the school year with her third graders!
