We are so proud to recognize Mrs. Tatyana Farber as South Fork High Schoolโs January Staff Member of the Month! Her students and colleagues shared countless glowing comments that truly highlight the impact she has on our school community.
Throughout her years teaching IB HL AA Mathematics, Mrs. Farber consistently challenges and inspires students to reach their highest potential. While her class is known as one of the most rigorous courses offered, students agree that her teaching style makes them want to work hard. She goes beyond formulas and memorization, emphasizing critical thinking, deep conceptual understanding, and problem-solving skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Students highlighted that Mrs. Farber:
-Pushes them to think, not just memorize.
-Breaks down complex problems and ensures true understanding.
-Encourages questions, discussion, and collaboration.
-Challenges students to exceed what they believed were their limits.
One student shared that although her class is considered one of the hardest in the world, โover time, we began excelling on every test because she makes us want to learn.โ Another noted that her philosophy โ โA man always does his bestโ โ has influenced how they approach both school and life.
Mrs. Farberโs dedication, high expectations, and genuine care for her students make her an exceptional educator and a tremendous asset to SFHS. We are grateful for all she does for our IB program and our students every single day.
Congratulations, Mrs. Farber, and thank you for your excellence, passion, and commitment to our Bulldogs!
Be More. Be A Bulldog.

We are proud to announce our Adult Volunteers of the Year and celebrate two incredible individuals who go above and beyond for our students and campus community.
๐ถ Rachel Terlizzi โ Adult Volunteer (18โ61)
Mrs. Terlizzi worked tirelessly with our Band program, dedicating countless before and after school hours to support students during the transition to a new Band Director. From band camp to preparing for football marching season, her commitment ensured our students had the guidance and opportunities they needed. We are deeply grateful for her generosity and dedication to the Spirit and Pride of South Fork High School.
๐ James Coughlin โ Senior Volunteer (62+)
Mr. Coughlin volunteers his time in our Bulldog Closet, our on-campus thrift store that provides teen-friendly clothing for students. Through his organization and management, proceeds are returned directly to students through student-led initiatives and scholarships. We truly appreciate his time, energy, and commitment to supporting our campus community.
Thank you both for making a lasting impact on South Fork High School! โค๏ธ๐ค

South Fork High School is proud to recognize Val Malloy for her outstanding service, leadership, and dedication to our school and community. As President of the Student Government Association, Val has โtransformed the organization into one of the strongest and most cohesive student-led groups on campus,โ says SGA advisor Mrs. Gorton.
Under Valโs leadership, SGA didnโt just meet expectationsโit exceeded them. A standout example was this yearโs Thanksgiving Basket Drive, where student donations grew from 500 baskets last year to an incredible 701 baskets, a new school record and a powerful gift to families in need. As Mrs. Gorton shared, โThis was the direct result of Valerieโs planning skills, communication, delegation, and ability to inspire others to serve with purpose.โ
Beyond that achievement, Val has volunteered countless hours supporting:
โค๏ธ Homecoming events and Penny Wars (raising $1,200 for House of Hope)
๐ Trunk or Treat benefiting the Humane Society
๐งธ SGA Toy Drive in partnership with CTE Elite
๐พ The Bulldog Closet
๐ค A Martin Leadership panel
๐บ๐ธ South Forkโs participation in the 9/11 Walk
โฆand so much more, all while helping elevate school spirit across campus.
โValerie is thoughtful, compassionate, dependable, and one of the most capable student leaders I have worked with,โ Mrs. Gorton added. โShe has truly embodied what it means to be a student volunteer.โ
โค๏ธ๐พ Please join us in celebrating Val Malloy, whose leadership by example has made a lasting impact on South Fork High School and our community!
Be More. Be A Bulldog.
