Welcome Math teacher Racheal Kline!
We’re excited to welcome Racheal Kline to our math department this year! A graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville, Mrs. Kline holds a BS in Education with concentrations in Grades 4–9 Math and Science, and K–12 Reading. Mrs. Kline comes to us from Wellsville Local Schools, where she taught Junior High Math and Algebra. When asked what inspired her to become a teacher, she shared that as a student, she experienced both success and struggles in the classroom, and teachers often made the difference. The connections she had with them inspired her to pursue teaching. This year, she’s most excited about getting to know her students and helping them grow both academically and personally into successful young men and women. Her favorite classroom motto is “Math is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn math is to do math.” When she’s not teaching, you might find her spending time with her husband and their five sons (two of whom are the same age as her students!). We’re so glad to have Mrs. Kline on our team this year—welcome aboard!

Welcome STEM/6th Grade Social Studies teacher Jesse Bolek!
Say hello to Jesse Bolek, our new STEM and 6th Grade Social Studies teacher! Jesse studied Math and Social Studies Education at the University of Akron. His goal as an educator is simple but powerful. He wants to inspire students and encourage them to follow their dreams. One of his favorite sayings captures that perfectly: “The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.” Jesse’s background in football taught him the value of teamwork, something he plans to bring into his teaching every day. Outside of school, students might be surprised to learn he’s a Dallas Cowboys fan (yes, right here in Steelers country!). Welcome to the team, Jesse!

Welcome Art/STEM teacher Grace Huddlestun!
Meet Grace Huddlestun, our new Art and STEM teacher, joining us from Wellsville, Ohio! Grace’s passion for teaching began way back in kindergarten when her teacher told the class they could be anything they set their minds to. That message stuck, and now Grace is here to inspire her own students to dream big, believe in themselves, and embrace their creativity. A graduate of Kent State Salem University in Early Childhood Education, Grace is excited to dive into a year full of art projects, STEM experiments, and plenty of imagination. When she’s not in the classroom, Grace loves crafting, baking sweets, and spending time with her dog, Bean. Welcome to Toronto Elementary, Grace. Your students are lucky to have such a creative and encouraging guide this year!

Welcome Art teacher Briston Ramby!
Toronto Jr.-Sr. High is welcoming a new creative spark to the building, Briston Ramby! Inspired by her own middle school art teacher who always encouraged her to follow her passion, Briston is excited to share that same encouragement with her students. Fresh from earning an Art Education degree at West Liberty University, Briston can’t wait to meet everyone and join the Red Knight family. Briston’s teaching motto? “Never give up and just try your best!” Whether that’s in the art room, the kitchen (Briston loves to bake), or while learning something totally new. When she’s not teaching or creating, Briston dreams of traveling (Japan is at the top of the list) but any place with a rich culture to explore is fair game. Welcome to Toronto Schools, Briston. We can’t wait to see what you create with our students!

We’re excited to welcome our new Intervention Specialist, Scott Celestin, to Toronto Elementary! A Wintersville native, he’s a proud graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he studied Learning Disabilities and Behavior Disorders along with Elementary Education. Teaching runs in the family—his mom, sister, dad, and wife have all been educators—so it’s no surprise he’s passionate about helping students learn. He’s excited to start a new chapter back in the classroom, meet his students, and become part of the Toronto community. Scott’s teaching motto is “Do your job and do it well!” Welcome to Toronto Elementary, we’re so glad you’re here!
