Elise Carlson

For the past 18 years, I have had the privilege of serving as a high school Spanish teacher, igniting a passion for language and culture in a countless number of my students. Beyond the walls of my classroom I am a devoted partner to my loving husband, Cary, and proud parent to three grown children: Lily, Danny, and Joy Rose.  

Through my passion of travel, I have embarked on immersive journeys through various different cultures, wholeheartedly embracing everything that each destination has to offer. 

My desire for knowledge propels me forward as I travel around the world. I firmly believe in the transformative power of education, and I think so much can be changed in this world simply through education. As I am still growing personally, I aim to inspire others to embrace opportunities that broaden their horizons, even if it might be scary at first.
