Mrs. Melissa Griffin

 

Welcome to the Anthem technology page! My name is Melissa Griffin and I teach Kindergarten through 6th grade technology. I also have two middle school classes: 7/8 Computer Science and 7/8 Creative Publications.

A bit about me:

I grew up in Phoenix and attended schools in the Washington Elementary School District.  I graduated from Sunnyslope High School and earned a volleyball scholarship to New Mexico State University. I graduated from NMSU in 2002 with my BS in Elementary Education. After graduation, I moved back to Arizona and began teaching.   

I got married in August of 2002 to Paul Griffin. I have two sons, Virgil (born in 2011) and Clancy (born in 2014).  We also have a very beloved dog, Nyla.  She is such a sweetheart! We moved to Anthem in January of 2023 and love this community!

I started the coding program for 7th & 8th grade at my previous school and they added a 6th grade section to my schedule last year.  I'm looking forward to learning even more and discovering new things with students this year!
