Robin Madole has been one of the most familiar faces in the Valley school district for over 35 years. Serving as everything from a physical education teacher to a math instructor and coaching four different girls’ sports in her time with the school, Madole has undoubtedly had an opportunity to touch countless lives there and more recently at North Fayette Valley High School.

After a year of living in the community, however, her roots became firmly planted in the Fayette County soil.
