Toni Russell

Preschool/Kindergarten & Elementary Physical Education Teacher and Admissions Coordinator

I wake up extremely blessed to be working with a passionate staff, amazing students on an awesome campus every day!

I am a San Francisco native, born and raised in this extraordinary city. I am a Sacred Heart Cathedral alumna and I continued my education at the University of San Francisco where I studied Psychology and Sociology. I was blessed to receive a full athletic (basketball) scholarship at the University of San Francisco. After college I worked with inner city youth at an afterschool program at Booker T. Washington Community Center. Later I discovered a passion for teaching Physical Education in the public school system at Claire Lilienthal Elementary and Sutro Elementary.

With three brothers and a family who loves sports, I quickly developed a passion for athletics. I was fortunate enough to pursue my childhood dream and play basketball professionally in Montenegro. Upon my return I attended Skyline College where I received my certificate in Early Childhood Education. I have coached basketball at elementary, middle school and high school.

I began my career at SFS as a substitute for two years. When the Pre-School/Elementary PE position opened up I applied.
