Mrs. Greta Backus grew up in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. While living there, she attended Faith Lutheran School and Winnebago Lutheran Academy. Following her graduation from Martin Luther College, she was assigned to be a dormitory supervisor and teach English at Luther Preparatory School in Watertown, WI. After that, Greta spent three years teaching 2nd grade at Divine Savior Academy in Doral, FL. While teaching in FL, she accepted a call to teach English back at LPS, where she met her husband, Rev. Dave Backus. Before coming to Shepherd of the Valley in 2017, Greta worked at an early childhood center in Springville, NY, where her husband served a congregation.  

In her free time, Greta enjoys reading, spending time with family and friends, and traveling. She is very thankful to work with the faculty, staff, and families at SVLS.  There is nothing better than sharing the love of Jesus with the students each day!
