Meet Our New Teachers and Staff
WLHS is welcoming a number of new faces to its campus.
Cheryl Belott ('98) joins the World Languages Department as a Spanish teacher. Belott describes her classroom as extremely active with lots of dialog, an emphasis on immersion and an incorporation of technology. “I like an energetic classroom that engages students through various stimuli. We might be asking each other questions, standing up and singing a song or making a video. Since students learn in all different ways, I implement a variety of strategies to connect and inspire them.” Belott is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Carroll University.
