Jonette Dalfonzo will be joining Wakeland Theatre after building an awesome theatre program at Roach Middle School for the last 12 years. Before that she taught for 6 years in Plano and 6 years in Sherman. She has a degree in theatre from the University of North Texas and spent two years studying the Meisner technique in New York.

She is very excited to get started with Wakeland Theatre! It’s going to be a great year!

I have news that has to be shared. I am not even sure how to start, so I will just say it… After 13 incredible years in Frisco ISD – 11 of which have been at Wakeland, I will be embarking on a new adventure. My husband has been offered a new position within his company and after much thought and consideration, we have decided it is an opportunity we cannot pass up. However, the new position requires us to relocate and, therefore, my family will all be moving to England! My time at Wakeland has been very special to me and, were it not for this relocation, I would not be going anywhere.  While an exciting opportunity for my family, it is difficult to say goodbye to all of you. I cannot begin to say how much I will miss each and everyone one of you. It has been a pleasure being your director and I look forward to seeing all the things that each of you will accomplish.  There are so many things that I want to say to you. I hope that we can all get together before I leave so that I can see you one last time. Thank you for being amazing. Love you guys!!     – Mrs. Howe
