About Mrs. Hazen

My name is Priscilla Hazen! Previously I have been the library instructional assistant, receptionist, and for the past 7 years the ESL K-4 teacher. I graduated from Texas State University with a BA in Elementary Education specializing in Reading, and my Master's Degree in Teacher Leadership from Lamar University. I have taught both Pre-K and 1st grade with over 30 years in education. This will be my 13th year at UP, and I am looking forward to heading back to the classroom!

My four daughters all graduated from HPISD and are alums of UP Elementary. My husband Scott and I have lived in Dallas for 33 years. My hobbies include reading, cooking, and enjoying spending time with my three precious pups, Finn a Maltipoo, Louis a Wire Fox Terrier, and Otto a Goldendoodle. I love to travel and spending time with family, most importantly my two-year-old granddaughter, Lily.

My goal as an ESL teacher is to greatly improve the lives of those around me, to be an example of high integrity, to be a great communicator, and to uplift and inspire. To make the teaching experience fun for the students as well as for myself.
