Ellen has taught at our Middle School since 2006. She holds an undergraduate degree in English and a Master’s degree in teaching from Mary Baldwin College. Prior to coming to Sabot at Stony Point, Ellen taught at the middle and high school levels in Essex County.

“Passion! I adore what I do!” is how Ellen describes what motivates her as a teacher. Her teaching is animated by her belief in the need for teachers to learn alongside students, and by her advocacy of lifelong learning and experimentation. "The reading/writing workshop format in the Middle School Language Arts program is truly exciting," says Ellen, "as it allows students multiple opportunities and avenues to explore literacy."
