HART — Hart Public Schools’ first-ever Faculty Feud is set for Friday, Feb. 28, at 7 p.m. in the district’s auditorium at the middle school.
Like the popular TV game show Family Feud, the competition will feature teams of five battling for the most popular survey answers. But instead of family members, the teams are Hart Public Schools faculty members.
The four teams include faculty members from each school building and the central business office. The Spitler Elementary team includes: Principal Brandon Bruce, Gwen Herremans, Michelle Lewandoski, Kelli Gross and Zach Budrew. The Hart Middle School team includes: Principal Kevin Ackley, Sarah Riley, Tarah Eisenlohr, Leo Uber and Kyle Weiler. The Hart High School team includes: Principal Ken Byard, Lisa Miller, Stacia Erickson, Elliott Ambrose and Adam Jerry. The Central Business Office team includes: Superintendent Mark Platt, Kelli Campagna, Paula Jerry, Jill Tanis and Kathy Wilson.

Hart High School senior Carson Jensen will play the key role of the game show host, “Richard Winkman.” The late Richard Dawson served as the first host of the game show, which launched in 1976, and Steve Harvey has hosted since 2010.
The event is a fundraiser for the Hart Drama Club, and tickets are $5 per person.
The unique idea to have Faculty Feud arose from a brainstorming session involving DeBrot, his daughter Olivia DeBrot and Carson Jensen. If all goes well, Faculty Feud could become an annual event, said DeBrot.
