Helping students shine on the page, stage, and beyond

About Me

My name is Rebekah Gross, and for over 38 years I have had the joy of teaching and inspiring students of all ages through literature, music, and theater. Over the course of my career, I’ve served as an English teacher, school librarian, elementary recorder teacher, and Theatre Arts teacher.

Beyond the classroom, I enjoy reading, writing, acting, directing, singing, and making music on the flute, recorder, penny whistle, and Irish flute.

I believe the arts and humanities open a doorway to imagination, empathy, and wonder. Whether through a story, a piece of music, or a performance on stage, I love helping young people discover the magic of creative expression.
