Greetings!

I have taught English and AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) classes at Roseville High School since 2000.  I currently serve as the co-coordinator of the AVID Program and teach AVID classes.  I currently work with AVID 9 and 11 students. I am passionate about helping students prepare for post-secondary options, particularly higher education as an avenue to pursue goals and dreams.  

I was the first in my family to attend college and earned a Bachelor’s of English, CLAD certificate, and Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction at California State University, Sacramento.  I studied abroad in London, England.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling and spending time with family and friends.

Sincerely,
Melissa Jones
