This is my first year teaching, and I am thrilled to be a part of the King team! When I’m not at school, you’ll find me hanging out with my family: I’m married with five kids, two cats and a rescue pup. I love to travel, cheer on the Cubs, Colts and Hawkeyes, I am an avid reader and crafter.  Finally, I just published my first children’s book this summer!

My name is Jordan Holub. This will be my 9th year of teaching and my 9th year at King. I am excited to make the transition to 3rd grade! I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Iowa and completed my master’s degree at Drake University. I live with my partner, Mike and my puppy Ted! We enjoy playing pickleball and going on bike rides around Des Moines. I also love to take care of my houseplants, read, travel, and try new restaurants!

Hello King Lions! My name is Justice Stevens and I teach 3rd grade. I live in Ankeny with my husband Josh, two children Easton and Emilia, and our dog Ruby. I graduated from Iowa State University in 2019, Go Cyclones! I grew up in Atlantic, Iowa and I am the oldest of 5 siblings. I love reading, fall weather, and everything chocolate!
