Callie Mayers
1. and 2. I've been a choreographer for the Musical for 10 years, and coached varsity Track for 3 years.
3. I love the opportunity to get to work with students and athletes and help them to learn something new, or reach their goal. It's also wonderful to see the bonds they make with each other and how they support one another as they work towards a common goal.
Caitlyn Mayo
1) I have coached at Melrose Area Schools for 8 years.
2) I am currently the head coach for the Rosettes Dance Team and the Melrose Football Cheerleaders.
3) My favorite part of coaching is seeing how hard work, high expectations, and consistency motivates student-athletes to be the best versions of themselves.
Teresa Schad
3rd year as Assistant Speech Coach
I just love watching the confidence grow throughout the season with each speaker. Speech teaches lifelong tools to help students with public speaking, creative writing, and dealing with adversity with subjective judges. They learn that supporting others is a key component to having a championship team. Every speaker makes a difference and is truly valued and important to our success! Plus - an amazing coaching staff is an added bonus!
Bill Leraas

Kristie Ekstrom
2012-present
This will be my 9th season coaching Fastpitch Softball for Melrose Area Schools.
Last summer, I had the privilege to be asked to help coach the Freeport youth fastpitch program.
My favorite part about coaching is sharing the passion for the game of softball with these girls, and watching them grow as an athlete-- and as a person throughout their softball and high school career.

Jesse Kuechle
I have coached for over 20 years.
Softball, Basketball, Football, Baseball, Trap Shooting
My favorite part of coaching is watching kids succeed and helping each other be part of something greater than themselves. Having coached at so many different levels gives me an appreciation of the time it takes to develop and foster a skill.
Mikayla Curry
1. This is my 5th year as head coach in Melrose, after 4 years in Morris
2. Speech
3. My favorite part of coaching is seeing the tremendous growth in our speakers from the beginning of the season to the end. Even better? Watching their growth from Jr. High to Sr. High. I am lucky to work with kids who willingly give up their Saturdays to hop on a bus in the wee hours of the morning to go speak and fellow coaches who are crazy enough to do the same.
Katie Masog
Coached: 15 years (11 Head Coach) of High School Gymnastics
Sports: Gymnastics (Elementary, Rising Stars and High School). Also have coached JO Volleyball and Youth Softball.
Favorite Part: My favorite part of coaching is helping gymnasts grow as a gymnast and as a person!
Teaching lifelong lessons that will help them in and out of the gym. Helping them believe that the sky is the limit, and with enough determination and dedication, anything is possible. Also watching the excitement when hitting a new skill is priceless!
Also, my coaching staff and gymnasts. We all share the LOVE for the sport of gymnastics, and that in itself makes us want to be in the gym everyday!
