Melissa is an alumni of CFHS who taught elementary school in Tucson for fifteen years prior to joining the faculty at Sunrise Drive Elementary. In addition to her work teaching first grade, she spent four years teaching "Opening Minds through the Arts", which integrated dance, music, art and drama into the elementary curriculum. Melissa is a leader at SDES and within CFSD, acting as a mentor for new teachers, and a facilitator for a series of professional development courses at Sunrise Drive.
"It takes an exceptionally adept teacher to enrich students all along the spectrum of their abilities, and Ms. Taylor's students left school every day feeling accomplished and feeling loved." - Sarah McNamara, parent
