TarwaterElementary School

About Ms. Jacobs:  I began my teaching career with CUSD in 1998.  I've taught kindergarten, 2nd grade, 4th grade and currently teaching 5th grade.  My dad taught at CUSD for 34 years and actually retired the year that I began:-)  I've always loved working with children.  Prior to my teaching career, I graduated from ASU with a degree in Psychology.   At that time, I worked in the community mental health sector, with a focus on research into childhood depression.  I became an in-home counselor for children/families and taught social skills training and parenting classes. I'm very grateful for that experience and how it has shaped and prepared me to be a better teacher.  I received my Master's in Education from NAU.  Education is where my heart is at :-)  I've been at Tarwater since its opening in 1998 and it will always be my home!
