Amy Elsass has been teaching at Miamisburg City Schools for the past 15 years The last 9 years have been at Miamisburg High School. She currently teaches PLS 1120 American Federal Government through Sinclair Community College and World Religions. Amy has a Bachelor of Arts in History from Wright State University, a Master in Education and Allied Professions from the University of Dayton and is CCP certified through Ashland University. After starting the program at Ashland, she was forced to put her goal to achieve a Masters of Arts degree on hold. With the encouragement of a fellow educator, she decided to apply for the James Madison Fellowship. “The James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation offers a scholarship to individuals desiring to become outstanding teachers of the American Constitution at the secondary school level. Their goal is to transform outstanding educators into Constitutional scholars by providing up to $24,000 to earn an MA with an emphasis on constitutional studies.” The Fellowship will provide her the resources needed to finish the Master of Arts in American History and Government (MAHG program) at Ashland. Amy said, "I believe that American government is the most important class a student can take in high school because it not only exposes them to the principles of our government, but it also demonstrates the enormous responsibility we have as people living in the United States to uphold the Constitution. With the help of the James Madison Fellowship, I want to instill a desire in my students to be an active and informed participant in society and then to develop critical thinking skills needed to achieve this."

Congratulations to Mrs. Amy Elsass!
