Greetings Students, Parents, and Guardians-

 My name is Mollie Haspert Olson. I am currently teaching my thirteenth year at Roosevelt High School. I student-taught at Roosevelt in 1995 and I've taught here ever since. I am an English teacher of tenth and eleventh grades, and have taught many years at the ninth grade level as well.

I am a Minneapolis graduate myself; having attended Patrick Henry High School for two years. After high school I attended St. Cloud State University and graduated with a BS degree in English/ Language Arts with a Speech Emphasis.

As I type this, I am a full-time Graduate student at Concordia University-St. Paul, working on a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.

My goal as an ELA teacher is to support students in becoming independent, strategic and critical readers, writers, listeners, and speakers. Another goal is to teach my students to communicate effectively in various forms, for various purposes, and for various audiences.

I look forward to working with you throughout the school year.
