Dannatt named new MPCC Imperial Campus Administrator

Brandi Dannatt has been named the new Mid-Plains Community College Imperial Campus Administrator. In this role, she will oversee campus operations, collaborate with local leaders and help shape educational and workforce training opportunities tailored to the region’s needs.

The Benkelman, Neb., native has been an early elementary educator for the past 10 years.  She most recently taught first grade at Chase County Schools.

An MPCC alum, Dannatt said, “I feel like I’m coming home.” 

Dannatt earned a bachelor’s of elementary education from Chadron State College and a master’s of principalship from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

“I loved teaching,” Dannatt said. “What excites me most is helping my former students in determining their next steps.”

With firsthand experience in personalized learning, Dannatt understands that education is not one-size-fits-all. She plans to bring that same approach to community engagement and workforce development.

“What do businesses and individuals in our community need—and how can we best support them?” she said. “Our doors are open. Come talk to us—the possibilities are endless.”

Dannatt is excited to begin working closely with students and community members to enhance access to education and drive regional growth.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their two daughters. “My girls are always at my left and right hip,” she shared with a smile. The family loves outdoor activities and their newest adventure—raising goats.
