Melissa Francis
Hello! My name is Melissa Francis. I have a bachelor’s degree and a Master of Education degree from Texas Tech. I taught in a traditional classroom for 17 years and have been a school counselor for the past three years. This is my second year teaching GT for Texas Tech K-12. I love helping students in a non-traditional classroom explore topics of interest on a deeper level, while challenging them to think outside the box. In my free time, I spend time with my family, watch my kids play sports, and enjoy outdoor activities. I look forward to having you in my class!
