This week we would like to introduce Ms. Mya Contillo! Ms. Contillo joined Belpre last January as our online 6th grade English and Social Studies teacher. Ms. Contillo attended Ohio University where she obtained a Bachelor's Degree in AYA Integrated Language Arts and a Minor in English. Ms. Contillo was able to observe many classrooms throughout her time at Ohio University. She stated that this gave her the opportunity to adjust to the environment of an English classroom. During the last two semesters of her senior year, she completed her full time professional internship at Athens High school, where she taught 11th-12th grade English. Ms. Contillo’s mentor is Mrs. Kelly Krason, our media specialist. Ms. Contillo is located in the high school building, room 139. She would love for you to stop in and introduce yourself! When asked why Ms. Contillo chose a career in teaching, she mentioned that her mother is a dance instructor who conducts classes with a lot of school teachers in them. Growing up, she would attend these classes, and she always loved being surrounded by educators. This inspired Ms. Contillo to become a teacher so she, too, could help students find what they are passionate about!

This week we would like to introduce Ms. Katherine Austin! Ms. Austin joined our Belpre staff at the end of July and started her first day on August 11, 2021. She expressed how much she enjoyed learning about the history of Marietta and Belpre during professional development days; Ms. Austin is not originally from Ohio, having graduated from high school in Tampa, Florida in 2012. Ms. Austin then furthered her education at Southeastern University in central Florida, where she obtained a Bachelor's degree in Communications, along with two minors in English and Theatre. After graduating with her Bachelor’s degree, Ms. Austin attended Ohio University where she obtained a Masters degree in Film Studies and a Masters degree in English Education. Prior to coming to Belpre, Ms. Austin taught Mental Illness Representation in Film and was a Teaching Assistant for a Film Analysis and Documentaries class at Ohio University. Ms. Austin has acting and backstage experience, along with production experience including producing a feature length film during her time at Ohio University. For part of her internship at OU, Ms. Austin was a part of the Disney College Program where she worked at Universal Studios for one semester. For the other part of her internship, Ms. Austin interned at the Athens Video and Film Festival. She also was an Arts and Crafts counselor at Camp Micah in Maine (along with a Sunday School volunteer and nanny). Ms. Austin completed her student teaching experience at Southern High school in Meigs County during the 2020-2021 school year. Ms. Austin's mentor here at Belpre is Stacey Moore, who is one of our phenomenal 6th grade ELA teachers. Ms. Austin will be teaching 8th grade ELA, along with a high school drama elective. She hopes to make her drama elective a club in the upcoming years. Ms. Austin is located in the Lawton Building, room 307, where she invites you to stop in and introduce yourself! Ms. Austin’s goal as a teacher is for each student to leave her classroom with more skills, their needs met, and an enhanced desire to learn. She aims to create lifelong learners who can apply the critical, skill-based learning required in English to every area of their careers, relationships and worldview. We are very excited that Ms. Austin joined our staff here at Belpre, and we look forward to seeing the impact she has on our students!

Today we would like to introduce Mr. William James, our new ninth grade English and Speech teacher! Mr. James graduated from Ohio University with a Bachelor's Degree in English, a Masters Degree in Business Administration, and a Masters Degree in Education.
