Third Grade
Mrs. Anderson
Hello Wranglers! My name is Mariah Anderson. The kids call me Ms. Anderson or Ms. A, and I’m quite thrilled to be your 3rd Grade Teacher this year! I have been teaching for 2 years and this will be my 3rd year at Watson Elementary. I have a B.A. in Educational Studies in Elementary Education. Aside from teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, building legos, listening to music, going jeeping, camping under the stars, getting lost at Barnes & Noble, reading, and Starbucks. I’m looking forward to an OUT OF THIS WORLD school year and helping your kids reach for the stars.

It is a pleasure to be part of Fredric Watson Elementary School for the 2025-2026 school year. This marks my ninth year teaching in the district. Before becoming an educator, I worked in the hospitality industry, managing operations ranging from financial oversight to staffing.
I earned my undergraduate degree in Business Management with a major in Human Resources from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I then pursued further education, obtaining a Master of Arts in Teaching Elementary Education and a TESOL endorsement from Sierra Nevada University. Additionally, I completed a Master of Education in Secondary Education with an emphasis in STEM at Grand Canyon University.
During my time with CCSD, I have had the honor of being part of several initiatives, including the Mathematics Teacher Leader program, the Transformational Network's Train the Trainer program, the School Organizational Team, and serving as a Teacher Mentor.
I am passionate about learning and am committed to sharing my knowledge and experience with our students and the future leaders of our country.
