Hello my name is Chad Russo. I am a U.S. History and World Geography teacher at Mentor High School. I am also the Assistant Athletic Director as well as a football coach at Mentor High. Before I went to school to become a teacher, I spent 5 years in the United States Army. After serving in the Army I decided to go to THE Kent State University, to pursue my schooling to become a teacher. I have been teaching since 2001 in the Mentor school system. I spent my first 3 years at Ridge Junior High and have been at Mentor High School ever since. I am happily married to my loving wife Melanie. We have 1 child and a dog named Tyson.
