Ms. Rolle’s Many Roles

Jordyn Taylor and Ariyanna Stanley

November 15, 2024

Coach Rolle demonstrates her passion and commitment, rallying the team with energetic shouts.

Do you think you could take responsibility for one thousand roles? Well, Valarie Rolle at South Broward High School proves anything is possible. Rolle is in charge of six wonderful roles! She teaches 2 AICE classes which are AICE International History and AICE Global Perspective. She took charge of being head coach of both varsity and JV volleyball teams. She also is in charge of three after school clubs! They are, Plastic Free Mermaids Club, Social Studies Honor Society, and the Black Student Union (BSU).

Rolle teaches two advanced AICE classes, SBHS sophomore Angelina Romero is a student in Rolle’s AICE international history class. Romero explained that Rolle believes that she manages her responsibilities well and is always on point and has a layout of the day.

“She is very sincere about what she does, and considerate because she understands things happen outside of school and you can’t always turn assignments in on time,” Said Romero.

SBHS sophomore Piper Wilson is a volleyball player on Rolle’s team, She played as a freshman on last year’s varsity team, under Coach Mark. Having a new coach is a hard adjustment, But, Rolle made it comfortable for everyone.

Before Rolle started as a coach in this year’s season, Coach Mark was in charge and coached at South Broward. Wilson says that playing on Ms. Rolle’s team has impacted her in many ways, it has taught her a lot of life lessons.

“ It has taught me to quickly adjust to new situations and to make the best of stressful situations,” Wilson said.

Fellow SBHS history teacher Ismael Cierra, Rolle and Cierra have worked together for six years. Cierra thinks Rolle is not only a good teacher, She’s a good mother. Cierra admitted he probably could handle as many roles as her but he is not at that point in life yet mentally.

On a certain level her motherly dedication is evident through the many roles she takes on at school. All the clubs, coaching, and teaching adds up to hours of selfless dedication. How does she do it all? Love.

“Make sure you love what you are doing and save time for yourself,” Said Rolle.
