Attendance in class is crucial, much like it is in a professional setting. Regular attendance at work reflects an employee's commitment and reliability. It serves as a key indicator of responsibility and professionalism, both of which are essential for success in any career.
Communication is key for all classes! I will count on the students to join the Remind App. This two-way messaging system is a great tool for us to utilize especially being on a rotating block schedule and not meeting for class everyday.
Our business classes uphold professional behavior standards. Career Ready Practices describe the skills that educators should seek to develop in their students. These include but are not limited to: being punctual and ready to work, respectful to peers, teachers, classroom equipment, using appropriate language/manners, keeping work area clean, staying focused and on task, following all classroom rules, etc.

I am excited to start my 21st year in education (19th here at VHS)!! My goal is to teach students how to be educated consumers and how to avoid financial pitfalls.
For those who do not know me yet here is a little background: born and raised in upstate New York- attended SUNY New Paltz - played collegiate basketball and softball. In the summer of 2001 I studied abroad in London, England. After receiving Bachelor’s Degrees in Business Marketing and Business Management I spent several years in the finance sector before realizing my true passion lay in the classroom. After two rewarding years of teaching in the beautiful state of Hawaii, I made the move to Florida to be closer to my parents. I believe these invaluable experiences have enriched my personal development, offering me new perspectives and values.
Since starting at VHS in 2007 I have taught various courses, coached multiple sports teams and taken the lead on several clubs and projects. In 2009 I earned my Masters in Business Education from the University of Central Florida. In 2019 I had the wonderful privilege of starting the Business & Banking Academy. I have earned numerous certifications shown below. In 2022 I was named a Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF) Distinguished Educator. Additionally, I am also an adjunct professor for Lake Sumter State College.
In our free time my husband and I love to travel. We love cruising as well as taking road trips. So far I have been to 23 foreign countries and 49 states! If I taught any of your older siblings or family members they might know me by my maiden name (Varrone).
We are all on this journey together. I look forward to working with each of you this year. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. ~ Aloha~
