Mrs. Michelle Arastu

I feel fortunate to have served for over 25 years in education working with grades 2-12 as well as at the college level.  I've experienced the classroom through a variety of courses: English, French and English Second Language, math, social studies, science, journalism, economics, and entrepreneurship and as a campus specialist.  I have loved every minute of this adventure.
