Melinda Houghton

I’ve worked in Education since 2001. I started off as an instructional aide while I was in college. I graduated from Cal State San Bernardino with my BA in Liberal Studies. I became a substitute teacher right out of college for many local school districts! When I had children of my own, I decided to be a stay-at-home mom. Eventually, when my children were both in school full-time, I decided to go back to work. I was hired at Grapeland, part-time, in the child nutrition department. There I worked for 2 years as a kitchen server. Being in the school setting, rekindled my interest to become a teacher. So I continued pursuing my teaching credential. I received my Teaching Credential and a Masters Degree in Teaching and Education from The University of Redlands. I'm so excited to be your child's Kindergarten teacher this year! We are going to make some lasting memories!
