Health

Hello!

My Name is Toni Trilikis

Welcome to Health, I am excited to teach both 7th and 8th grade students throughout the school year! I grew up in Peoria, IL, and graduated from Richwoods High School in 2010. I attended Illinois Central College where I played college soccer for 2 years, then went to Illinois State University graduating in December of 2015. I completed my student teaching at Metamora High School. I worked as a Physical Education Teacher in 2016 for Peoria Public Schools. In 2017 I was hired at MJHS as the Health Education teacher. I got my Master's degree in Health and Wellness Education in 2022. I coached freshman and sophomore volleyball in 2018 and 2019 and JV soccer in 2019 for Morton High School. Ms. Hasler and I started the Bowling Team in 2021 at MJHS. Mrs. Hartzler and I started the Cooking Club in 2021 at MJHS and are still currently running this club.

I live in Peoria with my husband (Efstratios), our 3 kids (Paraskevas, Ioannis, & Kalliope), and our dog Addi. My husband is Greek and is a Peoria FireFighter.

My Mission for Health Class:

I want to create a safe and positive environment for my students, and a place where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning new things. Our health is one of our most prized possessions, and my goal for this class is to teach students to appreciate their health, and therefore, make the right decisions to maintain good health throughout their lifetime.
