Hello, my name is Gabriella Knauss! I am so excited about being your teacher at Alston Middle School. I am from Cleveland, Ohio, and I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a degree in Adolescence to Young Adult Integrated Language Arts Education. This will be my third year at Alston, and I will be teaching ELA 8. 

I strive towards making a classroom space that is safe, motivating, and engaging for all students to learn. I have high expectations for my students because I believe that they can meet those expectations. I will always come in with a willingness to teach, so I ask my students to always come in with a willingness to try. 

I am looking forward to this year with our students. Go Tigers!
