Eclectic Elementary School teacher Ellen Tucker said in her 25 years of teaching in Elmore County Schools she considers teaching second grade at EMS as where she should have been along.

“I think I missed my calling a long time ago,” Tucker said. “Eclectic has been wonderful. Hands down, this has been favorite year of teaching. I get lots of hugs every day. It’s like I gained 20 new children of my own.”
