Meet Mrs. Lucas

Allow me to tell you a little about myself as I will be spending a great deal of time with your child.  I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from William Paterson University in northern New Jersey.  My teaching degree is from Rutgers University, and I earned my Master’s Degree in Educational Administration from Temple University in Pennsylvania. I have been teaching for twenty years, and I have had the privilege of teaching here at Gold Rush for the past ten years. 


Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family.  I have two children.  My son is fifteen and will be entering tenth grade this year at Legend.  My daughter is thirteen and will be in the eighth grade at Cimarron.  My husband and I were just married this past October hence the name change for those of you who have known me for some time.


In my spare time I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, physical fitness, and cheering on my children at their many sporting events.  You can often find me on the volleyball or basketball court when I am not in the classroom.  Kids sure do keep you busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
