Meet the CRMS Staff: Red Hawk of the week

Meet Mrs. Jodi Marsolek

Principal’s Secretary
A part of Coal Ridge since the very beginning (2000 at the old site, 2004 here), our Principal’s Secretary, Mrs. Jodi Marsolek, is one of the familiar and welcoming faces of the school. She loves the energy students bring each day—her unique personalities, big ideas, and determination to learn and try new things. Watching students grow, discover who they are, and realize their potential is her favorite part of the job. Outside of school, she keeps busy with a variety of hobbies including scrapbooking, camping, riding motorcycles, and most importantly, spending quality time with family and friends
