Elementary School: Melissa Massar
This 6 weeks, the spotlight is on Melissa Massar for her unwavering dedication and positivity! Always ready to lend a hand, Melissa consistently seeks out ways to contribute. Her infectious smile brightens our days, and she approaches every situation with kindness and optimism. Melissa goes above and beyond to support both our students and teachers, making her an invaluable member of our community. It is truly a pleasure to work alongside her! –Sherri Maruska, Elementary School Principal
Middle School: Brandon Raesz
Coach Brandon Raesz is the middle school spotlight for this six weeks. He is a standout educator who truly makes a difference in the lives of his students, particularly in the subject of science. His commitment to his students goes beyond just teaching the content—he is dedicated to ensuring that each student grasps the material fully. Whether it's staying after class, offering extra help during lunch, or simply making himself available for questions, Brandon goes above and beyond in his efforts to support his students' learning. We appreciate all that you do for our students, Coach Raesz! –Kim Luton, Middle School Principal
High School: Ramon Fuentes
Coach Fuentes is the high school spotlight this spring because of the many hats he’s been asked to wear and how remarkably he’s risen to the occasion. As the campus SPED caseworker Coach Fuentes swims in a sea of paperwork, but that does not distract him from forming a genuine connection with his kids. His willingness to constantly improve and better himself professionally is admirable. He assists as administrator when I have to be off campus with other student groups and has become someone my staff trusts to make sure our campus is safe and runs smoothly. All of those responsibilities along with coaching duties makes him more impressive. Practices, long nights, weekends and putting in time with our student athletes is no small task and Coach Fuentes serves with a positive attitude, and easy going personality. When asked to help, Coach Fuentes doesn’t turn me down, and I truly appreciate all he does for me, our campus,and our kids. –Nicole Tindol, High School Principal
