Mrs. Elizabeth Huckaby
Pre-K Teacher

Elizabeth is a San Jose State graduate, earning a BA in Childhood and Adolescent Development, with an emphasis in education. She has been an early childhood educator since her first job out of high school in 2006. Although her heart is in preschool age, she has also taught second grade in Morgan Hill.

 

Elizabeth loves the fulfilling role of a teacher, watching children grow, learn, and gain confidence. Leading the class while encouraging autonomy allows for growth in individual students as well as relationships between students and adults. 

 

Elizabeth is a Mama of three awesome school aged children, a second grader and twins in Kindergarten in the dual immersion Spanish/English program at San Martín Gwinn elementary.

 

Keep an eye out on hiking trails, local parks and the local animal shelter and you will probably run into Elizabeth and her family!
