Principal Melissa Gould joined the Connections Academy family in 2008 and holds a B.S. from the University of Wisconsin River Falls and an M.A. from St. Thomas University. With 11 years of experience teaching Spanish at the elementary, middle, and high school levels and four years as an elementary school principal, she knows that engaging students is key to their academic success.
An avid reader, Ms. Gould says “I’m especially proud that our program teaches students to love reading. It’s great that our kids exceed statewide reading test scores, but it’s even more gratifying that they truly love to read and love to learn.”
