Hello! My name is Bailey Torres and I will be teaching 8th grade Social Studies and coaching Junior High Cheer at Pottsville Junior High! My husband, Emiliano Torres, is a Pottsville Apache alum and we have been married for 4 years. This will be my third year in education and second year as a cheer coach. I can't wait to meet my 8th graders and bring school spirit with the junior high cheer team this year. I am thrilled to be an Apache!

My name is Valeria Cordero, and I'll be teaching band at the junior high and assisting with the high school band. I'm excited to be back to the Pottsville School District, this time as a teacher! 👩‍🏫📚✏️

I’m beyond excited to be working alongside the other talented band directors here and to help guide our students at both the junior high and high school levels. It’s such an honor to share my love for music, help students grow, and collaborate with an amazing team of educators. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead! ✨

When I’m not making music, you’ll probably find me reading, hiking the trails, listening to music, watching TV , or checking out new restaurants. 😊

Can’t wait to get started and make some magic happen! 🎶🙌
