Biography of
Principal Skip Bremer

I was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and grew up in neighboring Gretna with my two older sisters and parents.

My mother was a former WELS teacher and retired from the Post Office.  My father retired from Western Electric. My parents live in Glendale, Arizona.  I attended Gretna Public Schools from Kindergarten through grade 8. Nebraska Lutheran High School in Waco, Nebraska, opened up my freshman year.  I attended all four years and graduated in 1983 (best decision my father ever made for me!).  I grew up playing sports of all kinds and cheering for the Huskers.

I graduated from Dr. Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota, in 1987.  I met my wife at
DMLC. We were married after her graduation in 1988. We have five boys: Phillip (15) a sophomore at Wisco, Aaron (12) grade 7, David (8) grade 3, Alexander (6) grade 1 all at St. Paul’s, and Caleb (almost 3). My wife, Kathy, is from Cambridge, Wisconsin, where she grew up with three sisters and a brother. Her mother is an RN, and her father is a WELS pastor currently serving in Burlington, Iowa.

I was assigned in 1987 to serve as principal and upper grade teacher at St. John’s in Neillsville, Wisconsin. In 1993 I accepted a call to serve as principal and upper grade teacher at Zion Lutheran in Torrance, California. In 1998 I took a leave of absence from the ministry to pursue a Master’s Degree. I did teach science and math at Paradise Valley Christian School that year. I accepted a call to serve as Minister of Education at Grace Lutheran in Glendale, Arizona, in 1999. In 2001 I received my Masters of Education: Educational Administration and Supervision from Arizona State University and was elected a member of the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. This summer we moved across country to serve here at St. Paul’s.

I am thrilled to be part of your church and school family and part of the Muskego community. Thank you for making me and my family feel so welcome. St. Paul’s has so many wonderful things happening – there’s such a positive atmosphere here. My prayer is that God will continue to bless St. Paul’s and allow me to serve faithfully with each of you.
