September Staff Member of the Month

 Please join us in congratulating our Staff Member of the Month for September...

Mr. Steve Barbato!

Mr. Barbato is a ball of energy down in the D-wing and brings his passion for teaching, learning, and building relationships with his students to JTHS each and every day. As his colleagues can attest, Mr. Barbato keeps the building laughing with his sense of humor. Most recently, Mr. Barbato gave up time over the summer to craft a new AI policy for his classroom that was later adopted by the school and district for use this year. For all of his work, and everything he brings to the Falcon Community, we are truly grateful!

According to his colleagues:

"Steve is truly one-of-a-kind. He works each day to get the most out of his students, and they leave his classroom each period with a deeper appreciation of English and learning."

"We are so grateful for Steve each day. Especially for his work on the AI policy for this school year!".

"I have seen Steve give up his free time around the building to sit with students he doesn't even have and help them through a crisis. He truly understands that relationships matter in the classroom."

Thank you for all that you do, Mr. B! The Falcon will make its home in D-13 for the next month.
