meet the teacher

I am Mrs. Santiago the computer teacher at Addison Elementary School. I have been working here for 12 years. I really enjoy working with children and computers. I love the children's enthusiasm for learning how to use technology and how technology is all around us. I have created a special computer lab learning experience for each grade I teach. "The Panther lab is where learning and technology meet! "

I am the Elementary Student Council Advisor and I LOVE helping with our "Family Science Nights" and helping Mrs. Black with her wonderful music programs. I am also the High School National Honor Society Advisor with Mrs. Comstock.

I am retired from the Army. I served 20 years active duty of which I traveled all over the world. I earned an Associates Degree in Technology and worked around computers my entire military career. After retiring I went back to college to earn my Bachelors Degree in Education and a Masters Degree in Education Leadership.
