"Hi! My name is Robin Marcus! This is my twenty-sixth year of teaching and my first year teaching in Preston County! I am so happy to be joining the Bruceton Elementary educator team as a fifth grade teacher. I have taught 5th grade in the past and am really excited to meet all of my new students! I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary K – 8 from Fairmont State University, and my Master’s Degree from WVU in Special Education – Gifted. I also hold a certification for Special Education, Learning Disorders. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy traveling, crafting, stained glass working and hanging out with my husband, two kids, and our furry friends. This year, my travels allowed me to stand on the beaches of both our east and west coast! I am looking forward to an awesome new year!"

We want to welcome Kaden McElhenny to our Bulldog family for the upcoming school year! Kaden will be teaching Wellness and Physical Education.
"Hello! My name is Kaden McElhenny, and I'm excited to be joining Bruceton School as the new middle school physical education teacher. I graduated from Frostburg State University and previously taught at Terra Alta, Aurora, and Rowlesburg before becoming a part of the Bruceton team. In addition to teaching, I coach football at Mountain Ridge High School, where I graduated. Outside of school and coaching, you'll usually find me spending time with my family or on the golf course. My wife, Mikayla, and I moved from western Maryland to West Virginia about five years ago. We have one son, Kai, along with two cats, new puppy, and a lizard who keep life fun and busy. I'm looking forward to meeting all of the students, staff, and families and can't wait to get the school year started."
