Toledo Public Schools

At TPS we have some wonderful people on staff that were also students at our schools and we are proud to share a bit about their #TPSProud stories. Aurora - East Side Central, East Toledo Jr High, East Broadway, Waite High School c/o 2011 My #TPSProud moment: Being able to merge from a charter school into the district, serving a population near and dear to my heart. And now being able to enroll my daughter into a TPS school that not only embraces our culture but provides her with an outstanding education. My daughter has been able to attend Escuela SMART Academy for the last 2 years in PreK and now kinder and she is able to come home and share with us the Spanish she’s learned because of her school.

Rose - Franklin Elementary, East Toledo Jr. High, Waite High School (Class of 2000) My #TPSProud: I’ve always been TPS Proud! Born and raised in East Toledo, it has always been my goal to give back to my community. I began my teaching contract on the East Side at East Broadway Elementary School. I’m very proud to work in the district that helped shape and mold me into the educator I am today. My family has deep roots within Toledo Public Schools! My mom is a veteran Kindergarten teacher at Birmingham, my sister was a former ASL interpreter in the district, several aunts worked as secretaries (in schools and at the Board of Education), my cousin is a paraprofessional and two cousins are teachers!

Start High School My #TPSProud: When I did a book club after school when I taught at Raymer, and I had the Food Editor from the Toledo Blade come in. She talked about pies because we were reading about pies. Kids were writing the ideal pie recipe and the recipes got published in the Blade.

Shannon - Keyser Elementary, McTigue Jr. High, and Rogers High School Class of 1996 My #TPSProud moments began with my mother, Linda Tisdale, who was a dedicated teacher at Robinson Jr. High and East Toledo Jr. High. Growing up in Toledo Public Schools, I was fortunate to be surrounded by amazing mentors and educators—many of whom still impact my life today. My sister, Stephanie Teamer graduated from Rogers High School in 1993. While in high school she was the Senior Class President, voice of Rogers (did the morning announcements), and her Jr. year Prom Princess, and Sr. year Prom Queen. She is currently one of the School Counselors and still the voice of Rogers High School.
