High School & Middle School
Meet Mrs. Marli Kytta
My name is Marli Kytta, and I am the new Middle School Science teacher here at West Iron County Schools. I graduated in the spring of 2023 from Michigan Technological University with a bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and a Pre-med minor. I grew up in the small town of Chassell, MI near Houghton and have always loved the Upper Peninsula. My husband and I got married this past spring and moved to Iron River after graduation. I feel so blessed to be able to spend more time in the UP and be a part of a great community. I am so excited to have the opportunity to share my passion for STEM with the students here at WIC!
