My name is Tracy Malone, and I am so excited to be a part of your child’s Kindergarten learning experience here at Highland Lakes!

I am originally from Detroit, Michigan, and have lived in Seattle, Washington, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa before moving to Phoenix in 1998.

I graduated from the University of Iowa with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I also have a Master's Degree in Bilingual/Multicultural Education from Northern Arizona University. I have endorsements in both Early Childhood and English as a Second Language. I have over 24 years of teaching experience in grades Kindergarten through 6th grade. In addition to teaching at Highland Lakes, I am also a part-time Instructor at Grand Canyon University, teaching Early Childhood and ESL courses to future educators.

I love to travel, exercise, and sing and spend time with my family. I have been happily married for 20 years and we have 2 kids. Our son, John, will be a senior this year, and our daughter, Olivia, will be leaving us to attend the University of Arizona this year. 

I look forward to working with your child and getting to know all of you :-)
