My Project

Hi! I am the new Music teacher. I teach an amazing group of about 120 9th, 10th and 11th graders. This is Sac High’s first time introducing Music at the high school level since its transition to charter management, and I’m passionate about being able to equip my students with the materials staples crayons and pencils they need to succeed. Most of my students are low-income and underserved, and I want to ensure that my classroom is both a safe and productive place for them to thrive.

Ms. Elson Sac High Grades 9-12
