Hi. I am Melissa Fitzgerald. I am a graduate of Bridgeport High School. I received my Bachelors degree from Texas Woman's University and my Masters degree from the University of North Texas. I am the Special Programs Coordinator (Special Education, ESL, 504, Dyslexia, and GT), and I teach 5th and 8th grade English, 5th grade Social Studies, and 5th/6th Enrichment. This is my 8th year at Slidell.

I have been married to my husband, Monty, for 20 years.  We have two daughters.  Makenzie is a 2014 graduate of Slidell ISD and is a student at Weatherford College. Makayla is an 10th grader here at Slidell. My favorite hobby is watching Makayla and the Slidell Greyhounds at all of their sporting events and activities.

I am looking forward to another great year. I believe that parents are an important part of the education process. I feel that students are more successful when teachers and parents work together. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. My email address is mfitzgerald@slidellisd.net, or call the school office at 940-466-3118 if you would like to schedule a conference.
