THS WELCOMES VETERAN ADMINISTRATOR

AS NEW PRINCIPAL Maureen Wherry Taggart will tackle the newest challenge of her

academic career as Toronto High School’s new principal. Taggart,

a twenty-one year veteran of the district, said she is looking forward to

the challenges of her new position.

She began her career as a sixth grade science and physical

education teacher at the former Lincoln School. She moved to S.C.

Dennis where she taught third grade math and technology. In 1999

she was named technology and communications coordinator for the

district. Taggart has served as principal at S.C. Dennis Elementary

School and Karaffa Middle School. This past year she has worked as an

administrative principal and also assisted in the high school.

Maureen said she has some ideas relating to the high school

building's retirement after the end of next school year.

“This year we want to honor the history of the building in different

ways to acknowledge the end of an era," said Taggart, adding she plans on working with students and staff to

make that happen.

Taggart will also continue in the position of communications coordinator for the district.

Maureen graduated from Toronto High School in 1988, then obtained her bachelor’s and master’s degrees

from Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio. She is married to Fred Taggart ‘90 and they along with their

daughter, Erin, who will be a junior at the high school this year, make their home in Toronto.

DICKINSON RECIPIENT OF KARAFFA AWARD Jennifer Russlee Dickinson is the 2012 recipient of the Joseph and Anna Marie Karaffa Award for Excel-

lence in Education. The award is presented annually to a teacher or administrator active in Toronto City

Schools. It was established to recognize the efforts of an outstanding teacher or administrator for creating an

Dickinson is a physical education teacher and intervention specialist at Karaffa Elementary School. She has

been a teacher in the Toronto City School District for eight years.

Jennifer graduated from Toronto High School in 1995.

She graduated from West Liberty State College with a bach-

elor’s degree in physical and health education with a special

education endorsement. She earned her master’s degree in

education from Marygrove College and has taken additional

coursework through Muskingum University, Franciscan

University of Steubenville and Ohio University.

As a physical education teacher, Dickinson excels at in-

corporating physical education lessons that are student cen-

tered and allows students to be active. According to offi-

New Technology for Schools

The city school district is obtaining new technology tools geared for the coming school year and the anticipated move

to a new district building for grades sixth through twelve in 2013.

The new school will include wireless internet connections, new computers and mobile units. Much of the high tech

equipment is being purchased now, according to Rob Suffoletta ‘88, district technology coordinator and Maureen Taggart

‘88, district communications coordinator and high school principal.

“This year we purchased 30 iPad IIs over the summer, along with a charging station on wheels,” said Suffoletta. “We

also invested in a mobile laptop computer on wheels. It makes it more flexible for teachers.”

All online computers are filtered to prevent access to questionable websites, Suffoletta said.

The new building will include interactive white boards, projectors, multi-media centers and microphones for teachers

to use, according to Suffoletta.
