I am originally from Ohio where I attended the University of Mount Union, and received my B.A. in Early Childhood Education and Art. I attended Concordia University of Chicago to obtain my M.A. in Reading as a Reading Specialist. In my free time I love to workout, travel, and visit with family and friends! This summer I completed my 1st triathlon!

My name is Miss Michelle Santiago. This is my fifth year at Peirce School. I first started as a sub clerk working in the office, and then became a teacher assistant in Preschool. I love working with children and helping them build their foundation in education. I have two boys named Daniel (12) and Michali (10). They also attend Peirce. I grew up in the Humboldt Park area in Chicago. I have a twin brother named David, and we have always been close since we were little! I come from a very large family that enjoys spending time together!
