Considering his music background and pedigree, it was more than appropriate that Jon Grill (above) made that announcement that Dana Olesky (left, with balloons and her proud colleagues) has been named a Teacher Who ROCKS.

'A role model who empowers students'

March 10, 2025- At its Battle of the Classes assembly March 7, High 乐鱼体育 North shared some exciting news.

Music teacher Jon Grill announced that Dana Oleksy has been named a 2025 Teacher Who Rocks. The program, sponsored by the NJEA and promoted by 95.9 WRAT, recognizes local educators for their remarkable contributions. Students and staff erupted in cheers, celebrating the wonderful news.

"Dana is a role model who empowers students with business and technology skills while fostering creativity and lifelong learning," said Olesky's colleague, Jamie Tesoro. "She leads, mentors, and shares her expertise as North's Technology Student Association co-advisor and a Digital Arts Academy teacher, inspiring students and involving them within our community through hands-on, practical skills."

It's been a rocking good time for district teachers, as High 乐鱼体育 East's Ashley Fitzgerald was named a Teacher Who Rocks a week prior.

The official announcement of Oleksy's selection was made at 1:20 p.m. this past on 95.9 WRAT, and at 3:20 pm at 100.1 WJRZ.

Congratulations to Dana Oleksy on her well-deserved recognition, and for making High 乐鱼体育 North and all of Toms River Regional 乐鱼体育s proud!
