Support Staff:
Barbara Rosace
* Although only a 1on 1, Barbara is constantly circling the class to help any student. She has a great rapport with staff and students alike!
*She has been here over 20 years and no matter where she is placed, she does her job with patience, compassion and always places the needs of her students first.
*Barbara is a reliable, conscientious and dedicated paraprofessional. I have had the pleasure of working alongside her since starting here 4 years ago. She pours her heart and soul into helping each student succeed. Her students’ needs always come before her own. She has taught me so much about showing compassion to and caring for even our most challenging students.

Paul Fallat
Unsung hero. Works tirelessly as coach of the Boys Soccer team. Takes the lead on OpenSciEd as an 8th grade science teacher and his science lessons are always working towards the students’ understanding of science at a high level. He is also extremely funny.
