Mascoutah Elementary School

Great turnout and so much fun at the MES Back to School Party for staff and their families! Great to catch up with friends, meet new staff and enjoy each other’s families. #MESProud

Welcome back to the MES family Mrs. Laura Hesker! Laura is ecstatic to be returning to MES this year as a 5th Grade teacher and teaming with her good friend, Mr. Veath! She is entering her 16th year of working in the Mascoutah School District. Mrs. Hesker and her husband, Drew have 3 girls-Elly (12), Cambrie (9), and Vivian (5). They live in Okawville, and their lives revolve around the sport of the season. Mrs. Hesker looks forward to getting reacquainted with the MES community this year!

It is officially August and we are excited to share with the new Administrator and teachers that will join the Mascoutah Elementary staff this year! First let's welcome Mrs. Laura Yarber as one of our Assistant Principals! Mrs. Yarber is a familiar face to Mascoutah School District as she has served as curriculum coordinator, DODEA director, and teacher for MSD. Prior to her new role as assistant principal at MES, she was the principal at Holy Childhood School. She is a Mascoutah alumni, and a graduate of both Mckendree and Lindenwood University. Mrs. Yarber and her husband, Chad, have three beautiful children who attend Mascoutah schools. Both of Laura's parents were educators, and they inspired her to go into education. Let's give a warm MES welcome to Mrs. Laura Yarber! #MESProud
