Mrs. LeSaicherre

Dear HFE Students and Parents,

My name is Ellen LeSaicherre and this is my 15th year teaching elementary music. I am an Atlanta native and grew up in Peachtree Corners. I attended Louisiana State University for my bachelors degree in music education and Kent State University for my masters degree in music. While at LSU I played the bassoon as my primary instrument and also played saxophone in the Tiger Marching Band. Geaux Tigers! After college I taught for six years in Louisiana before I moved back to Atlanta, where I taught in Gwinnett County Schools as well as in Alpharetta before coming to HFE in 2020. I live in Peachtree Corners with my husband, daughter, and two dogs. I can't wait to sing, say, dance, play, and create in music class this year!

Musically Yours,

Mrs. LeSaicherre
