Mrs Elsen is a veteran teacher who joined our High School Social Studies department last school year. In that short time she has already become a building and district leader, taken on teaching multiple Advanced Placement courses to provide opportunities for our students, and helped to provide innovative projects and lessons for our students in 10th grade US History. She goes above and beyond to support students and the rest of our staff on a daily basis. Thank you Kristin for all that you do, and congratulations on being our Lancer Staff Member of the Week!
