As the 2023-2024 school year begins at Woodmore High School, we welcome several new staff members and teachers to the school!
Starting with our new Algebra I and Probability and Statistics teacher, Mr. Brandt! Mr. Brandt has lived in Northwest Ohio all his life and is the oldest of six children. He enjoys going on nature walks, trying out new food recipes, and watching Netflix. Mr. Brandt is also a true Swiftie and has a Class Rules (Taylor’s Version) in Room 207. Mr. Brandt says he loves the smaller community that we have here at Woodmore and, “even though Woodmore may be small, we are definitely loud and proud!” If Mr. Brant had just one thing to say to you all, it would be, “Let your voice be heard, express your thoughts, and take on the world headstrong. You and your future are what you make it out to be, big or small. We all need a little support, and I got you! Be a leader and never a follower, the path you take will surprise you!”
Mr. Brant’s favorite quote: “Don’t you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine.” Ours, Taylor Swift
Welcome to Woodmore Mr. Brant!
Next we welcome the new English teacher, Mrs. Sobieralski! Mrs. Sobieralski was born and raised in England until she was nine, then she moved to the United States, making her a dual citizen! Mrs. Sobieralski
ki went to high school at Eastwood and graduated college from Bowling Green State University. She likes reading, taking walks, and playing video games. Mrs. Sobieralski is loving Woodmore so far, especially the spirit. “The pep rally was awesome!”, Sobieralski said. When asked what her message is to the students here at Woodmore, she responded, “Since I am also the Yearbook Adviser with Mrs. Sandwisch, my message for the student body is to buy a yearbook! I am super excited for this year’s theme and I think, much like every yearbook thus far, this one will be amazing.”
