A Little About Ms. Martin           

Welcome to Jedi Academy! My classroom has a Star Wars theme. Students will be earning Star Wars-themed items as they advance academically and socially in the classroom. 

I am a 4th generation Alaskan (my maiden name is Prescott) who grew up on the island of Wrangell. I lived in Juneau for 21 years where I was an elementary school counselor for 9 years. For one year, I taught English as a Foreign Language in Japan. I taught in the Mat-Su School district for 13 years- 7 years at 2nd grade, one year in 1st grade, one year as a school counselor, one year as 4th/5th, and three years at 5th grade. 

I have five grown children, an adopted 6-year-old son, 14 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. I have a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Minor in Education, Certification in Elementary Education, and a Master’s Degree in Guidance and Counseling. In my free time I enjoy fishing, hiking, gardening, and reading.
