Mehlville High School sees new students every year, but also teachers and staff!

Many new students face the challenge of going to a new school, whether it’s incoming freshmen, or even transferring students. But new teachers also face the same struggles as students.

Math teacher Stephen Jantosik is a new teacher to Mehlville High School, joining us in 2023. Jontosik describes his challenges he faced during his first year here.

” It was very different than my other school there are a lot more kids here which was kind of overwhelming, the different style in the way students learned their math previously than the way they do here was a challenge but after a while I got use to it and it went pretty smooth,”

Junior Julio Rogel explains the difference between old versus new teachers and staff.

“There’s definitely a difference between old and new teachers, mostly by the way they teach and run their class. I know new teacher’s face some challenges their first year but can relate their feeling to new student’s as well,”

As Mehlville continues to see new teacher’s and staff almost every year students are now able to understand how teachers and staff can relate their feelings to a students first day.
