High School Business Teacher

Skye Mader has been a dedicated Wyoming educator for the past 23 years. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Management from the University of Great Falls and began her career in education working in the curriculum office for three years. When an opportunity arose to teach Office Procedures at the local high school, she pursued her teaching certification with the support of the school district and transitioned into the classroom.

As the business program grew, additional courses were introduced, including a comprehensive selection of business classes and, more recently, computer science. Passionate about preparing students for success, she has been an FBLA advisor for the past 20 years, mentoring countless students in leadership, business, and career development. She has also been actively involved in Wyoming FBLA, serving on the state board for the last ten years.

Through her dedication to education and student success, Skye continues to inspire and guide the next generation of business and technology leaders.
