Angelica Teets
Angelica came to West Side Montessori when she was just three years old in Little House, setting the foundation for a diverse and enriching educational experience.
Over the years, she immersed herself in a wide range of activities, from athletics—playing on the basketball and cross-country teams—to academic and creative pursuits like school band, Math Counts, Power of the Pen, and the Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN) Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC). Her dedication extended beyond the classroom, as she volunteered at Same Cafe and Connecting Kids to Meals, interned at Trinity Care and Nature’s Nursery, and even earned recognition in the Toledo Bar Day Essay competition.
Among the many formative experiences at West Side, MMUN stands out as her favorite, giving her the opportunity to engage with global issues and feel like she was making a real impact. Her Montessori education has equipped her with confidence in speaking and leadership, advanced academic opportunities, and the creative freedom necessary to thrive in high school.
Angelica is excited to begin her next chapter at Toledo Early College, where she hopes to gain valuable life experience by joining clubs and pursuing activities beyond school walls. Looking ahead, her aspirations are clear: attend a great college, become a psychologist, and eventually publish a work of fiction. Her advice to younger students? Take risks—because without forward momentum, doors may never open.
Reflecting on her years at West Side, Angelica simply wants everyone to know how much she enjoyed her time there—a testament to the meaningful experiences and lasting impact of her Montessori journey.
