Meet Ms. Cotton
Ms. Taylor Cotton grew up right here in Lawson, Missouri! After graduating from William Jewell College in 2012 with a B.S. in Elementary Education, she began her teaching career at Frontier School of Innovation Charter School in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Over the years, Ms. Cotton has added professional teaching certifications in K-12 Physical Education and Health, K-12 Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), and 7-9 Grade Science. The 2026-2027 school year will mark Ms. Cotton’s 11th year of teaching! She is a single mother to her 8-year-old daughter, who attends 2nd Grade at the elementary school. In addition to teaching, Ms. Cotton is also the high school throws coach for track and field, and loves spending time outside and collecting houseplants. She loves teaching and guiding students to learn how to think critically, problem-solve, and cultivate curiosity, which are skills all people need to thrive into adulthood and become contributing members of society.

In Ms. Cotton's class this year, students should expect to work hard and ask questions! We do most of our learning in class and that includes labs and station activities. We will focus on learning critical thinking skills, and students will spend a great deal of time discussing their learning with Ms. Cotton and the rest of the class. Come to class prepared and ready to focus, think, and work hard!

Parents should expect regular communication from Ms. Cotton. She likes to keep parents aware of what is happening at school. Make sure Ms. Cotton has your current email and please check it often. Also, don't expect to see too much homework. Students will work hard in class to learn and show their understanding, so not much will overflow into home life, but there are a few research projects that may require a bit of extra effort outside of classtime.
