Hi!

My name is Erika Semmes and I bring 12 years of experience in gifted education, special education leadership, and enrichment programming, I have a master's degree in Instructional Leadership and endorsements in Gifted Education and secondary English. I've spent the last three years teaching and coordinating GT services for PK–8 students in New Orleans. Outside of school, I love hiking, listening to podcasts, and spending time with my husband and two young boys, who are at Willow Creek Elementary. I'm excited for a great year!

my career teaching middle school math
