Mrs. Stephanie Luscher

My name is Stephanie Luscher and I am originally from Montana. My husband D.J. and I moved to Los Alamos in 2002. D.J. has his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and is a scientist at LANS. I worked at LANS for 11 years before deciding to leave to stay home with our son Cole. At this time, I began work on reinstating my teaching license and working on a graduate program in reading. Cole is now 14 years old and will be in the 9th grade this year at LAHS! I am extremely excited to work as a Reading Specialist this year at Mountain Elementary School.
