Hi, my name is Melinda Coger, and I am the new Early Childhood Director for Homestead Hills Elementary and Betsie Valley Elementary, as well as the Preschool Recruitment and Enrollment Specialist for all Benzie Schools.

I have been in Early Childhood Education for 16 years and have my Bachelors in Early Childhood Development. I will finish my Masters Degree this year. This is my third year at Benzie Central, and I have truly enjoyed getting to know so many children and families in this community.

My husband, Kegan and I have five children Cheyanne, Nolan, Natalie, Peyton, and Penelope. We enjoy sports, horseback riding, camping,

and 4-H.
