“It has been a true blessing and I feel that I have had a wonderful career,” she said, reflecting on nearly three decades in Rochelle.
In addition to her time in the classroom at RTHS, Toohey has coached tennis, cheerleading coordinated the winter dance.
“I came here in 1992 strictly as a math teacher,” she said. “The other classes I have taught are pre-algebra, algebra 1 and algebra 2.”
