I have been working in education since 2000 and have been working at Roxhill since 2010. I love that I’ve been able to be a part of the Roxhill community for so long. It makes me so happy to see my kindergarten students grow up and become amazing young folks. Some things I like to do when I’m not at school are read, play guitar, listen to music, watch (and talk about) baseball, and travel. – Mr. Popelka

I have been working in education since 2006 and have been working at Roxhill Elementary since 2014 and at Genesee Hill Elementary since 2025. I believe that social emotional skills are vital to the success of our children. Getting to see students grow into kind, empathetic, problem solvers, gives me confidence in future generations. When I am not at school, I enjoy being outside in nature! Whether that means gardening, camping, traveling, or just floating down a river. I also love ultimate frisbee and traveling. -Ms. Amber

I have been working in education since 1997 and I have been at Roxhill Elementary since 2011. I love learning about other students’ culture and helping students succeed. I love to ride my bike and I ride my bike to work almost everyday. Yo hablo español. – Mr. Miller

I began working in education in 2008 and I have worked at Roxhill since 2015. I believe that every student has unlimited potential. I believe schooling should help develop intrinsic motivation, purpose, and passion for becoming a life-long learner seeking self improvement whenever possible. Some of my favorite things are sports, games, and food! Yo hablo español. – Coach C (Mr. C)

I have been working in education since the late 1990s and I have been at Roxhill Elementary since 2016. I have been working as a public school teacher since 2005. As a special education teacher I am dedicated to ensuring that all of my students achieve their best, academically, socially and in life skills. I believe inclusion is essential for students with disabilities and benefits both special and gen ed students and teachers. My main hobbies are knitting, reading and hiking. – Ms. Ellen
