This week's staff spotlight is Tony Kobza, who is our vice principal and athletics coordinator. Kobza was asked who inspired him and he says Kevin Scheef. He was his business teacher and basketball coach in high school. He was a mentor for Kobza and made him love coaching and education. Outside of school, Kobza tries to spend as much time as he can with his family. He is seen at school quite a bit in the evenings so when he can, they try to do as much together as possible. They are a family that loves sports and being active so they try to find ways to do those things together. If Kobza were to be any main character in a movie it would be Ed Rooney, the Principal in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He feels for him. He is just trying to do his job and support a young man (Ferris) who thinks skipping school is cool. Ferris is portrayed as the hero in that movie. But really, the hero is Principal Rooney. He is willing to go above and beyond to try to help a young person find a better path in life and be successful. Fun fact about Kobza is he doesn't have a spleen due to a football injury in high school and he started auctioning for his family's business when he was 6 years old.
