Kahok Dance Team Coaching Staff

Toni Geisen
I attended Collinsville High School and graduated in 1996.  I have been married for five years to Adam and we have three year old twins boys, Jack and Luke.  At Collinsville I was a two year member of the Kahok Dance Team and a varsity basketball statistician for two years.  After high school I attended Eastern Illinois University and majored in Elementary Education.  I later received my secondary ed. certification and began teaching high school.  I previously worked in the Triad School District as a substitute teacher and also coached the dance team for 6 years.  I recently completed my first year of teaching U.S. History at CHS and I am looking forward to the next year.  I am very excited about the new tradition of dance that we have started and hope to continue it for many years!

I graduated from Collinsville High School in 1994. I danced on the Kahok
Dance Team all four years. I was on JV my freshman year and Varsity for three
years where I served as a senior officer my senior year. I have many fond
memories of my years on the dance team. I graduated from the University of
Illinois in 1998 with a degree in Speech Communications and Public Relations. I
have worked as a Conference Manager for KMI Event Management since
graduating from college. My job is exciting and has allowed me to travel to many
places throughout the country. Before coaching at Collinsville, I coached for
four years at Triad High School. Coaching at Collinsville has been a very
rewarding experience. I look forward to another successful season and continuing
our tradition as State Champions!
