Welcome Back!

Today marks our first school day of 2011-2012! I am very excited to get the year kicked off on the right foot. I want to focus this blog entry on our new faces amongst the staff and faculty. I'm thrilled with the new additions this year and am confident we'll have a wonderful and successful year.

To begin, I want to introduce Mrs. Toole. Mrs. Toole is our 1/2 time Spanish teacher. She'll be with us this entire first semester teaching Spanish I. Mrs. Toole brings a varied background including teaching at Pathfinder and North Carolina.

Next, I'd like to welcome Mr. Rost. Mr. Rost recently moved to Massachusetts after a strong teaching background in Iowa. Mr. Rost will be teaching Algebra III, Honors Algebra I and Algebra IA this first semester.

The last teacher new to MHS is not new to Monson. Mr. Sitnik has made the transition from Granite Valley Middle School and will be teaching Algebra I and Geometry this first semester. His experience within the district will be a great asset for us as we move forward.

Finally, I have great excitement to introduce our new Assistant Principal, Mr. Siciliano. Mr. Siciliano has a wealth of teaching and administrative experience that will truly make MHS a better and stronger institution of learning. He brings a firm, but fair approach to the position and I'm sure before long he'll get to know all the students here at MHS.

In the near future I'll share some important dates and events on the horizon. I hope to see many parents and community members at our various events this year in hopes of building a strong relationship between school, home and community.

Until next time...take care!
