Hello!
My name is Erin Higgins. I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember! As a little girl, I used to “play school” with my dolls and stuffed animals. I even saved things that I could use when I was a teacher. 🙂 To follow my dream, I attended the Eastern Michigan University to earn my Teaching Degree. I graduated in 2006 with my Bachelors. In 2010, I went to the University of Michigan – Dearborn to obtain my early childhood endorsement. In January, I plan to go back to school to begin working on my Master’s Degree.
This year will be my 10th year of teaching, and I am very excited to be part of the Arno Family! I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher in Allen Park, then I was a Reading Title 1 Teacher in Lincoln Park, and I was also a teacher at Cabrini Elementary School in Allen Park! I have taught students from Kindergarten through 5th grade, and even a little bit of Middle School-aged students as well! I love teaching 4th grade, and I can’t wait to make this the best year yet!

- Food: Chicken Parmesan
- Drink: Water and Diet Coke
