Meet the RES PTO Executive Committee!

2024 - 2025 Executive Board

Holly Newton

President

Momma to 1 Raccoon - Lyla (4th), and an AG Wright Tiger, Bradley (6th). I am a full-time government employee and full-time PTO mom (4th year). I love to spend any free time with my family boating, fishing, watching movies & snuggling, singing & dancing, crafting, playing games...or anything else that we can get into with our 2 doodles, Abby & Emmy.

Lisa Carpenter

Vice President

Mom of 3 - Porter (11), Jillian (6), and Hatcher (3). This is our family's 7th year in Stafford and at Rockhill. We enjoy hiking, going to the beach, & camping. More recently I have found joy in gardening and refinishing furniture. We have a Mastador named Brewski, who looks big & intimidating but is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet. I can't wait to see what this year brings!

Kate Gilder

2nd Vice President

I am excited to start serving on the PTO board this year. My husband Dan and I recently moved Stafford with our two boys and dogs. We love it here and have two raccoons – Duncan (2nd) and Declan (4th). I currently work on educational grants after teaching for 12 years. In my spare time, I love reading, baking (especially cookie decorating), swimming, hiking, and traveling.

Karen Hill

Secretary

Hello Rockhill families! I am so happy to be serving my fourth year as your PTO secretary. My husband and I settled in Stafford 6 years ago with our 2 children, Harper (3rd grade), and Logan (4th grade), and our fur babies Diesel and Drax. I can't wait for another great year at RES!

Claire Nester

Treasurer

Mom to three boys, Gregory (16), Thomas (14), and Timothy (9). My husband Justin and I have lived in Northern Virginia for 24 years. We have been in Stafford and at Rockhill for 6 years. I love to knit and crochet and enjoy hiking and spoiling our cat Cleo. I am looking forward to my first year as Treasurer of our PTO.

Brittany Scott

Staff Liaison

I have been a special education teacher at Rockhill for 12 years and have been with SCPS for 14 years. I am thankful to work at an amazing school! I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to the beach, and traveling.

Fundraising Chair

Mama to a 4th grader, Savannah. I'm a fifth year Rockhill parent and a fourth year PTO board member. I enjoy baking, hiking, being outdoors, volunteering (which is why I'm here!), and spending time with my family and friends (which is also why I'm here!). In my professional life, I work in finance for the government.

Crystal Rowe

Wife to Jonathan and mommy to three: Nathaniel (former Rockhill Raccoon, now at AG Wright), CJ (3rd grade), and Hannah (1st grade). Three words I'd use to describe myself: EXTROVERT, LAUGHTER, SNACKS! I'm so excited to see all returning & new Rockhill scholars with their families to make each individual event and our overall Rockhill community the best, most friendly it can be!

Jen Dietz

Mom to Ryan (5th grade) and Brooke (Rockhill grad). We moved up from Miami and this will be our 5th year at Rockhill. I look forward to a great school year filled with fun events!

Hi Rockhill families! I’m momma to two Raccoons… Caleb (6) in first grade, Levi (8) in third grade, and a Mountain View Wildcat Kaden (16), a junior this year. In my free time you will find me at the gym, my garden, reading, or crafting with my cricut. I look forward to my first year here on the PTO and all the fun activities we have planned!

Hi, Rockhill! I’m a mom of 2, 1 high schooler (and former Raccoon), and a little Raccoon. My husband, children & I have lived in Stafford for almost 10 years. We love trips to Disney World, Penn State football, and playing soccer! Looking forward to another fantastic year at Rockhill!

Angel Boyd

Photography/Media Co-Chair & Chair-at-Large

Mom of 5 (3 boys and 2 girls). I have 3 children out of high school, one starting AG Wright and one Raccoon. I am a Nurse at North Stafford High school and I enjoy spending time with my family at sporting events, traveling, and the lake. I am also a proud mom of my dogs, chickens, ducks, and bougie goats. I enjoy taking pictures which makes for lasting memories and am excited to offer this passion to the Raccoon families. Can’t wait to see your big smiles as we enjoy another exciting year.

Michelle Mastronardi

Photography/Media Co-Chair & Chair-at-Large

Mama to three, Vincent (6th grade), Vivian (2nd grade), and Viggo (1 year old). I am originally from Missouri, we moved to Virginia 8 years ago. By trade I'm a real estate agent and love helping people buy/sell or invest in real estate. When I am not showing houses or spending time with my family, you can find me at Target, Starbucks, or taking a nap on any given day. When I am not napping, I love spending time with my family. We love to travel; dipping our toes in the sand is our favorite place to be.
