 | English Language Arts- Mrs. Whaley I am Mrs. Whaley, one of the 5th grade Language Arts teachers. I have been teaching for 21 years. I spent 1 year subbing in Shelby City Schools, and for 20 years I have been a part of the Mansfield City School. I have taught kindergarten, first grade, a year of eighth grade, and now 5th grade. I got my bachelor’s and master’s degree at The Ohio State University. I can teach all subjects in kindergarten through eighth grade. I have always wanted to be a teacher. I love seeing the joy in my student’s faces when they learn something new.
I was born in Mansfield, but graduated from Shelby High School in 1993. I played the clarinet in high school and marched in the Electrical parade at the Magic Kingdom when I was a Freshman. That is when my love of Disney began. I love spoiling and spending time with my two nephews, traveling with my family, watching Ohio State football, and relaxing at home.

 | Intervention Specialist- Mrs. Curtis Lisa Curtis has been teaching in the Mansfield City Schools for the past 15years and will begin her 31st year teaching in the fall of 2021. Currently, she is a 5th-grade Intervention Specialist at Malabar. She’s taught students in all grades from 4th to 12th. Not only has Ms. Curtis worked as a special-education teacher, but also as a regular-education teacher at the middle-school level. She graduated from Walsh College and Ashland University. Lisa is a proud mom of two talented, extraordinary kids; a son & a daughter. She was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. When not teaching, her favorite place to be is her home in Mansfield or at her cabin near the Allegheny National Forest. Ms. Curtis has a cat and a dog and is trying to adopt another dog because she just loves her furry friends! For fun, she enjoys doing things outside like gardening, hiking, biking & geo-caching or quiet things indoors like reading & listening to music. Most people who know Lisa describe her as out-going, but she’s really a very introverted person. According to Ms. Curtis, the best students to teach are 5th-graders. She’s very much looking forward to another great year at Malabar Intermediate School.
