Meet Our Principal and Dean
Hello! My name is Alisa Johnson and I'm the Principal of Dassel-Cokato Middle School. I'm originally from Litchfield but have lived and taught in Dassel-Cokato for 32 years. Besides being principal, I taught 5th grade and was also the Dean of Students at DCMS.
In my free time, I enjoy reading and spending time with family and friends. I have three children (two married with spouses) and one that is a senior at DCHS. I also have two granddaughters that I love spoiling! A fun tidbit about me is that I used to be an L/DC Hockey cheerleader.
Each school year gives us an opportunity to grow and learn! I look forward to seeing you in the halls and classrooms at DCMS. Be GREAT! Be GRATEFUL!

My name is Carol Riemenschneider, and I am the Dean of Students at DCMS. I grew up in Delano, MN. I have taught for 14 years in K-8 classrooms at HLWW and taught 7th and 8th ELA at DCMS. This is my third year at DCMS and my first year as Dean! I have also coached volleyball, softball, and middle school speech.
My husband, our two young sons, and myself, live in Silver Lake and our family enjoys hiking, trivia nights, golf, cheering on the Vikings, and spending time with family.
My goal as the Dean of Students is to build positive relationships with students and families, while ensuring each student feels a sense of belonging within our school community. Please watch for information from me regarding attendance, behaviors, school bus procedures, middle school activities, and academic eligibility. I also serve as DCMS Student Council advisor, and I am excited to celebrate our student successes throughout the school year.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns regarding the opportunities here at DCMS. GO CHARGERS!
