About Ms. Duffy-Ulrich
This is my seventh year as the Director of Choirs of Oshkosh North High School. I graduated from Oshkosh North High School, and I am honored to be a member of the ONHS faculty! I'm officially "Ms. Duffy-Ulrich" but students are welcome to continue calling me Ms. Duffy. Thanks!
In the summer of 2018 I completed my master's degree in music education at the University of Michigan as part of a summer program. I completed my undergraduate program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2009 and I am a proud Badger. Previously, I worked as the Director of Choirs and Vocal Music at St. John Neumann Middle School and Lourdes High School.
Because I am often at rehearsals for the North musical, SparTONEttes, Testostertones, Fermata Nowhere, Choir Council, and Madrigals Singers, email is usually the quickest way to reach me.
