🌟 Meet Mrs. Griffin! 🌟
We’re thrilled to introduce Taylor Griffin, a dedicated and enthusiastic 4th-grade teacher at PES! When she’s not in the classroom, you can find her with a great book in hand, traveling with her pilot husband, worshiping Jesus, or spending quality time with family and friends.

For Mrs. Griffin, the heart of teaching lies in building meaningful relationships with her students—getting to know them both academically and personally, discovering what excites them, and celebrating their growth throughout the year. Those moments of curiosity, discovery, and confidence-building are what make teaching so rewarding for her.

This year, she’s especially excited for the 4th-grade capstone project, where students will take on the role of engineers, designing innovative solutions to help communities tackle natural hazards. Think science fair meets real-world problem-solving!

Now in her second year at PES and fourth year in education, Mrs. Griffin continues to inspire young minds with her passion and dedication. We’re so grateful to have her on our team!
