Mrs. Kesler knew from a young age that teaching was her passion, and after graduating from Indiana State University, she began her career in education in 1999.  Mrs. Kesler has taught at both the elementary and middle school levels in grades 1, 3, 7, and 8.  Currently, as principal of Van Duyn Elementary School, she makes it a priority to provide the Viking students with a place where they feel loved and safe so they can get the most out of the amazing teaching and learning that is provided by an amazing staff.  

Mrs. Kesler and her husband, Dennis, have two grown sons, Damon and Ethan.  She is now also known as Mimi to her newborn granddaughter, Raelyn.  A family favorite is vacationing in Florida each summer.  

Mrs. Kesler values community and family support and is available for questions, concerns, and/or comments.  

It is a great day to be a Viking!
