Welcome, all new teachers! We’re so glad you decided to “swipe right!”

Mr. Milanoski

Mr. Milanoski is the AP in charge of 10th and 12th grade as well as testing and building use. As a Bel Air alum, Milanoski was taught to despise Fallston, but after being here for a while, he has changed his view. Now, he is excited to be a Cougar!

What did you do this summer? “My daughter turned 16, so we’ve been doing a lot of driving.”

What is something no one knows about you? “I know a little about a lot. There is a lot of useless knowledge in my brain. Trivial Pursuit, Jeopardy, people ask me to be on their team.”

Ms. Snow

Ms. Snow is a new assistant principal. She graduated from Fallston and is excited to be back! She really likes all the staff, teachers, and students.

What brought you to Fallston? “I came here from BAHS. I was a teacher for the last 21 years and was promoted to assistant principal.”

Is there anything you would like the student body to know about you? “There’s nothing special I want the students to know – just happy to be here.”

Mrs. King

Mrs. King is an English II teacher and the newest addition to the English Cluster. She wanted to return to teaching as she taught English for 7 years at CMW, worked as a media specialist for seven years, and then worked for central office as a technology specialist supporting teachers and staff around the county.

Anything fun you did this summer? “We went boating with friends. I haven’t been to Ocean city, MD much, but we did that. We anchored right on the edge of Assateague. I knew of Assateague and have gone through the park once, but this is the first time we’ve sat on our beach chairs right there on the edge of the park and the horses were there all day. That was really fun.”

Is there anything you would like the student body to know about you? “I’m new so be kind. That’s the most important thing because I’m not coaching a sport or running a club. I feel like since it’s my first year here I just want to feel everything out and maybe next year get involved more. I just didn’t want to overwhelm myself. It’s just a matter of I don’t know everything.”

Mr. Mull

Mr. Mull teaches four sections of American government, two sections of world history, and coaches the men’s lacrosse team. He is a former Cougar himself, graduating in 2009.

 After coaching Fallston Lacrosse for two years, he’s excited to finally join the staff; the 5-minute commute is just a bonus.

Any hidden talents or surprising fun facts? “I really enjoy playing golf, it’s my biggest hobby, I would like to think I’m pretty good. A fun fact is my wife graduated from here so we’re kind of community lifers.”

Is there anything you would like the student body to know about you? “I’m a pretty easy-going person. I’m very trusting too until you break that trust, but I definitely take a lot of pride in what I do and I’m definitely very proud of being a student here and happy to be back here as an educator. I really think highly of this place and by all accounts so far it still stands true.”

Ms. Garfinkel

After subbing at Fallston and hearing there was an opening here, Ms. Garfinkel couldn’t say no. She is the newest addition to the science team, teaching Chemistry, AP Chemistry, and IPC. Between her punny jokes and love for chemistry, we can tell she’s going to fit in great!
