Starr’s Mill welcomes math teacher Michelle Genovese to the Starr’s Mill family. Before teaching at Starr’s Mill, Genovese worked 21 years at Sandy Creek High School. Starr’s Mill is the 2nd high school where she has worked as a full-time math teacher.

Her husband, Shad Genovese has been working here at Starr’s Mill for the past 14 years as a part of the English department.

Prior to this year, Genovese had already been teaching in the field of mathematics. Last year at Sandy Creek, she taught Analytic Geometry, Accelerated Analytic Geometry/Advanced Algebra, and Statistics.
