Mrs. Michelle Arastu
I feel fortunate to have served for 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.
