Say hello to Ally Ciesielski, one of the newest faces in Bronco Country! Check out their spotlight below and learn more about them as they join our #BroncoFam.

What is your new role, what will you be teaching/supporting?

A: My new role is Executive Administrative Assistant working in the District Office for the Superintendent and School Board.

What are you most looking forward to in your new role at UGHS?

A: I’m really looking forward to supporting the leadership team and staff by helping things run smoothly behind the scenes. I enjoy creating organization out of the daily chaos and being a go-to resource when people need something. Most of all, I’m excited to get to know everyone, build connections, and contribute to making Union Grove High School a welcoming and positive place for staff, students, and families.

What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of education?

A: I’ve always loved anything related to the water! Whether it’s going to waterparks, spending time at the beach (especially the ocean—my favorite place to be), exploring new waterfalls, fishing, swimming, boating, or simply floating in a pool or lake, I’m happiest near the water.

I also love to travel with my husband and kids. We enjoy discovering new places, but we also love returning to the spots that have become special to us. We spend a lot of time in Tomahawk and Crandon, where we have family, and visit both several times each year.

My husband and I, who met in high school, have been married for 11 years. We have two wonderful kids—Lily (8) and Evan (6). Between work, school, and all the kids’ activities, life keeps us busy, but we wouldn’t have it any other way!

What inspired you to go into education?

A: What inspired me to go into education are the wonderful and caring teachers I had growing up. They made me feel important and encouraged my love of learning. I truly enjoyed being part of the school community—a place where I felt welcome, safe, valued, and appreciated. I was very involved in sports, clubs, choir, and theater, which gave me a strong sense of connection and belonging.

That positive experience stayed with me and drew me back to the education field. Even though I’m not directly in the classroom, I love being part of the school environment and supporting the work that helps both students and staff thrive.

Is there a quote/mantra that guides your life?

A: Make the most of every day, see challenges as growth and give yourself grace. This mantra is a good reminder to live each day with intention, view challenges as opportunities to learn & grow and treat yourself with patience and compassion along the way.

Our AP Biology students are getting their hands dirty—literally! 🪱 The lab investigated earthworm behavior in response to different environmental factors. A great hands-on way to connect classroom learning with real-world biology. #BroncoFam
