Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! I’m Susan Pickrel and I’ll be your ELAR (Reading & Writing) teacher this year. 

I grew up in beautiful (but VERY cold) Watertown, NY. I’ve been married for 29 years to my husband, David, and together, we have four children, ages 27 to 19.  As a former military family, we have lived in many places, but always return to Texas and call it home.

I earned my Bachelor's degree from Texas A&M-Commerce and my Masters degree in Reading and Curriculum from Grand Canyon University. For the past eighteen years I’ve taught in Kansas, Arizona, and Texas schools.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time on the boat with my family, traveling, exercising, and reading pretty much anything I can get my hands on!

I’m looking forward to a wonderful school year with you! See you soon!
