Anne Bopp was born and raised a college professor's daughter in River Forest, Illinois. Seeking adventure, she headed to the west to attend Concordia, Portland, OR. Anne majored in elementary education and wrapped up her degree a little early so she could graduate with her husband, Ron. Having taught a brief time at Hope Lutheran, Seattle, WA to finish out the term for a teacher who was transferred, Anne then accepted a call to Grace Lutheran School, Pocatello, ID to teach second grade. Three grade levels and over 30 years as an educator led Anne to eventually become Principal at Grace.

Anne's passion is children and the development of programs and experiences that enrich their faith experience and talents given to them by God.

Hanne feels completely humbled to be leading a school, so she embraces the challenge with God’s guidance and blessing to develop her skills so that she can serve with love and compassion, and competence and JOY. Throughout her years in education, she has taught classes in math, business, computer science, religion and coached basketball at every level from Middle School to College.

As the youngest of 8 kids, Lutheran Schools were not an option for her family – until Hanne was first introduced to Lutheran Schools as a freshman at Lutheran High School in San Diego. It was during those high school years that her life was changed and a purpose was discovered. She has been blessed to live in many cities throughout the United States as well as Denmark. She is blessed to use those experiences to share how God has worked in her life. She is thankful to be wife to Andrew Krause & blessed to be called mom by daughters Kirsten and Sarah. Hanne enjoys the culinary delights prepared by her husband, spending time with her family skiing, riding bikes, skateboarding, playing board games, and visiting family and friends around the world.
