Ms. Johnson

Hi All! My name is Maija Johnson and this is my third year teaching Social Studies in Minneapolis, second at Edison. I am teaching Economics, and US Government and am excited to be back here in Northeast Minneapolis!

Here is a little background on me. I grew up in North Branch before moving to the Twin Cities for college at the University of Minnesota. I have a Bachelor's Degree from there in History with minors in Philosophy and Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies. I then took a little time to figure out what my next step was before going to Hamline University for their Masters in the Arts of Teaching program. After receiving my teaching license, I was a substitute teacher at Mounds View and Saint Paul Schools. I then got hired at Belle Plaine High School and spent four years driving two hours a day there before getting hired at Minneapolis Southwest. I love teaching Social Studies and getting kids excited about being good citizens of the world!

Please feel free to get in touch with me with any questions. Here is my contact information:

We can also set up a time to meet either in person or via Zoom if you have any questions or concerns
