My name is Melissa Lonsberry, and I will be teaching your student history this year! I am originally from Holt, Michigan. I attended Michigan State University (Go Green!) and started my teaching career in Lansing. This will be my ninth year teaching in St. Johns. In addition to teaching, I am the Social Studies department chair, and the co-chair of the School Improvement Team. A few years ago, my husband and three sons and I moved from Lansing here to St. Johns. Our oldest son is a ninth grader this year, our middle son will be in sixth grade, and our youngest is starting fourth grade. We love the St. Johns schools and the community. Go Redwings!
