A little about Dr. Green:

I spent most of my childhood growing up in California with my parents and three younger brothers before moving to Breckenridge, MN in high school. I graduated from Breckenridge High School in 2008 and went on to receive my Bachelors in Elementary Education with a Middle Level Science Endorsement from Concordia College, where I also played soccer for the Cobbers. I earned my Masters Degree from Minnesota State University Moorhead in 2015 in Curriculum and Instruction, and received my Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Minnesota State University Moorhead. Before becoming an Assistant Principal, I taught 5th grade and middle school science for 6 years and spent one year as an Instructional Coach. I am married to Jim Green (the high school Principal) and we have two kids, Molly and Henry, who keep our days busy. We love living in Watford City and cheering on the Wolves!

A little about Dr. Kaloustian:

I was born and raised here in Watford City, ND. My family farmed; my father also had a mechanic shop, and my mom would drive a school bus during the school year. I moved to Massachusetts after graduating from Watford City High School in 2007. I attended Fitchburg State University and majored in Middle School Math and Science Education. After graduating college in 2011, I began teaching 8th grade math in Fitchburg, MA, and working on completing my master's degree in Middle School Education. I received my master's degree in 2013 and I continued to teach in Fitchburg but switched from 8th-grade math to 6th-grade science. My husband, son, and I moved back to Watford City in 2016. I taught 7th-grade math here in Watford City until I became the Middle School Assistant Principal in 2022. I completed my Doctorate of Education from the University of North Dakota in December 2023.

My husband is originally from Marlborough, Massachusetts. We have four children, three boys and one girl, who are all very active in hockey. Our jobs and our children keep us very busy, but we love it and would never change it. I am very excited and fortunate to be back in Watford City.
