Meet our new staff.
Shona Case will be teaching elementary music this year. Mrs. Case began her first year of teaching with Bristow Public Schools where she taught first grade. She is transitioning into music and will be at Collins first semester and Edison for the second semester. Her favorite aspect of teaching music is being able to share her passion with students and encourage the future generation of musicians. Mrs. Case's goal this year is to bring students together who are looking for a sense of community within music. She believes that developing connections and relationships with students instills hope and inspiration that allows them to express themselves through music. In her spare time, Mrs. Case enjoys hiking and being out in nature with her husband and two dogs.
Welcome Shona Case!
