About Me

Hi! My name is Ellie Espiritu. I am a native of Columbus, Ga, but now call Augusta home. I am the oldest of four children and grew up playing school with my siblings! This is my third year teaching, and I have been lucky enough to spend all of them in first grade. I graduated with both my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Early Childhood Education from Georgia College & State University, and I also have my Reading endorsement. In college, I had a minor in dance and also danced on my college dance team. This Summer, I got engaged and am planning to get married in Summer of 2024. My fiancé is also an Augusta local and is completing his residency at Medical College of Georgia. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy visiting friends and family (especially my childhood dogs, Baby and Susie), and helping coach the South Columbia running club, the Turbo Tigers! I am so excited to be a part of the first grade team here at South Columbia Elementary this year!
