✨ Staff Spotlight: Mr. Tommelleo ✨
Mr. Tommelleo is a first-year teacher at Ridgedale, but he’s not an unfamiliar face! Last year, he worked with our students in the after-school PowerHours program, and we’re excited to now have him in the classroom.
Outside of school, Mr. Tommelleo serves as a police officer for the Village of Lexington and is also a French and Indian War/American Revolution reenactor—bringing history to life in a unique way!
We’re proud to have Mr. Tommelleo as part of the Ridgedale team! 🚀
