Upon graduation, I plan on attending Susquehanna University this fall to earn my major in Broadcasting, with a minor in Spanish in order to become a children's writer or motivational speaker.
Mr. Anthony Lesher
InDesign specialist
Mr. Lesher is a Technology Education teacher, self-proclaimed InDesign specialist, and District Printing Extraordinaire. Areas that fall under Mr. Lesher's gaze, similarly to the Eye of Sauron, include wood shop manufacturing, graphic design, electronics, computer aided-design, and architectural drawing and design. Besides torturing, umm...I mean challenging students, Mr. Lesher enjoys outdoor activities and spending time at his family's farm. Mr. Lesher has been employed with the Shamokin Area School District for 13 years, likely ending his career this year when this gets published.
Instructor / Adviser
Mrs. Rhoads escaped a 10-year journalism career to become an English teacher and eventually end up back in the "Fourth Estate" at Shamokin Area. When she's not panicking about deadlines, she teaches Mass Media, English 10, English 10 Honors, and Mythology. In her free time, she likes taking her grand-dogs Sophie and Nona for walks, and serving as proofreading queen (not to be confused with the famous band, which I love.) Thanks to another Sophie in her life, she has a new favorite saying: When life gives you Lennon's, make The Beatles.
