Math
Mrs. Stephanie Borscheid
Hello- My name is Stephanie Borscheid, and I’m an Eden Valley Watkins graduate. I graduated from Eden Valley Watkins in 2010. I then moved up to Duluth to complete my degree in Teaching Mathematics in Grades 5-12 with a coaching minor at the University of Minnesota Duluth. This is my 11th year here at EVW. The courses I teach currently are Pre-Algebra and Resource Math. I also teach Credit Recovery for students who need to recover credits in the summer months; those classes are Geometry and Algebra 2. You can also see me coaching the C-Squad Girls’ Basketball and Softball teams. I went back to school in 2018 to receive my Master's degree in Special Education with a focus on Specific Learning Disabilities at Concordia St. Paul. In 2024, I completed my Educational Specialist (Ed.S) to receive my principal license. I'm a lifelong learner and believe that you can always learn and grow as an individual.
When not at school, I'm a full-time mom to my two kids, Ryker and Aubrey. They keep me very busy at home! I have been married to my husband for 9 years. We have a family dog. Most have seen him around town because Chase is a part of the K9 Unit for the Eden Valley Police Department and works with my husband. In my free time, I enjoy reading, camping, going for walks, playing outside with my kids, spending time with family and friends, and attending the different sporting events here at EVW (Go Eagles!)
I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you and your students. My professional belief for students is that every student has the right to a high-quality education where they feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged to be who they are. My goal is for all students to feel confident and successful in the classroom. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or comments. I’m excited to see what the year brings, and can’t wait to work with you and your students!

Rachel Neu
Hello - My name is Rachel Neu and I have been teaching math at Eden Valley high school since 2015. I currently teach Algebra 1, Algebra 2A, Algebra 2B and Honors Algebra 2. In the past, I have taught Geometry, College Algebra and Pre-Calc at EVW. I have been teaching since 2005, when I graduated from Saint Cloud State University. Since then, I have completed my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Saint Mary's in the Twin Cities. I completed my Masters Degree in December of 2015. I have taught in a number of schools and am very happy to be a part of the EVW staff. I have taught in Hinckley, Hutchinson, Saint Cloud Tech (high school), and Renville County West (RCW). Over my entire career I have taught math to students who were new the country, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra 1.5, Geometry, Algebra II, Algebra III, Pre-Calculus, AP Statistics, Probability and Statistics, and also some remedial classes for students in grades 7-11 along with teaching credit recovery (night school) and so I have a wide mathematical background!
I moved to Eden Valley in 2011 and moved out to the Cyrilla Beach area between Eden Valley and Paynesville in 2016. I have a son, Jack Bates, who graduated from Eden Valley Watkins in 2018. He is currently working as a financial analyst for an engineering company out of Minneapolis and is living in Litchfield. My daughter Reegan is currently in 4th grade at Eden Valley Elementary School. My husband is Kyle Neu, who is a 1998 graduate of EVW who currently works in Luxemburg as as estimator and project manager at Diversified Paving. He is also a Realtor for Riverwood Realty out of Eden Valley.
In my free time, I love to spend time at our lake cabin in Kimball in the summer, attend concerts, travel, and spend time with family and friends. My daughter keeps me busy as she is growing and learning and is quite adventurous and is all about trying new things and being involved.
I hope I've had the pleasure of getting to know your student (or hope to in the future) and look forward to a great school year. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. My number one goal is to do whatever I can to help your student be successful in my class and I have many tools and options that we can try to get them there. I am available before and after school most days as well as during Soar B and can arrange additional help for your student when needed. I look forward to working with you and your student,
Rachel Neu
