The Diocese of Gaylord is blessed to announce the appointment of Mrs. Peggy Zettle principal of St. Joseph, West Branch.
I was born and raised in West Branch on a dairy farm. I attended St. Joseph School from 2nd through 8th grades. I graduated from Michigan State University with a BS in Animal Science and managed a dairy farm for many years. I previously worked at St. Joseph School as a Paraprofessional while my two sons attended. I then was a 4-H Program Coordinator for 8 years. I returned to St. Joseph and was the Spanish class mentor before becoming the 3rd/4th grade teacher for four years. July 1st, I became principal. During the past 4 years I returned to school to obtain my teaching certification and also a Catholic Administrative certification. I am so excited to have come full circle and be able to lead this great team we have here at St. Joseph where we educate each child as a whole child while keeping Christ at the center of everything we do.
