Born in McFarland, Wisconsin and raised on a dairy and tobacco farm, the former Barbara Ruth Storck graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Platteville in 1956 and received her masters and doctorate degrees from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[1] Initially, Thompson started to teach in a one-room schoolhouse and was a school administrator. She campaigned for the State Superintendent office, while recovering from a broken arm in 1973, and was the first woman to be elected to the office. During her administration, the teachers in Hortonville, Wisconsin went on strike. Thompson also required teachers in Wisconsin to go through continuing education and to have their teachers licenses renewed once every five years. She died in Bradenton, Florida.[2] Notes1. ^'The State of Wisconsin 1975 Blue Book,' Biographical Sketch of Barbara Thompson, pg. 6 {{DEFAULTSORT:Thompson, Barbara}}2. ^Obituary 10 : American school administrators|Educators from Wisconsin|People from McFarland, Wisconsin|People from Bradenton, Florida|University of Wisconsin–Platteville alumni|University of Wisconsin–Madison alumni|1924 births|2010 deaths|Superintendents of Public Instruction of Wisconsin|Women in Wisconsin politics |
