My name is Zolia Bogovich, but most people know me as Zoi. I am a Montana native; I received my Bachelor of Arts degree at The University of Montana. After graduation, I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where I spent the next eight years teaching first grade. While in Las Vegas, I earned my Master’s degree in Administrative Leadership at Nova Southeastern University. I was also able to facilitate a before- and after-school tutoring program that served over one hundred and fifty K-5 students throughout the year.

I returned to Montana in the summer of 2012. During the 2013-2014 school year, I was given the wonderful opportunity to work at Chief Charlo Elementary as the school counselor. This endeavor allowed me to create and teach essential life skills and character education lessons for all K-5 students.

I joined the amazing staff at Cold Springs Elementary in 2014, as a fourth-grade teacher. For the 2022-2023 school year I will be teaching second grade, and I couldn't be more thrilled! At Jeannette Rankin Elementary, the amount of community support and parental involvement truly blows me away! I am so thankful to work in an environment where EVERYONE works together to promote student success! I look forward to collaborating with all of you and having a stellar year!
