Michelle Horton
Lead Teacher, Preschool + Preschool Enrichment
Teacher at GPS since 2017
21 Years of Teaching Experience
Mrs. Horton first toured Golden Pond School in 2004 as a parent searching for the perfect preschool for her oldest daughter. As an educator with 17 years of teaching experience including 12 years as a preschool teacher, Mrs. Horton knew what she was looking for and Golden Pond School was it! She was immediately impressed by the friendly, encouraging teachers and faculty, the fun, challenging curriculum and the nice variety of programs offered. Mrs. Horton felt it was the total package and a perfect fit for her child. After taking time to raise her children Mrs. Horton returned to teaching in 2017 and returned to Golden Pond School as a teacher in our Preschool Enrichment program.
