Alyssa Kitch

Head of Middle School & MS English

Alyssa Kitch brings a vibrant and multifaceted approach to teaching ELAR and literacy to AESA's middle school students. Originally from Keller, Texas, Alyssa earned her bachelor's degree in communication sciences and disorders from the University of Oklahoma and Central Oklahoma, with additional studies in speech-language pathology.

Her educational journey began in Moshi, Tanzania, where her passion for culture, travel, and phonics seamlessly integrated into her work at Rafiki School, inspiring her dedication to fostering effective and nurturing educational environments.

​

Before joining AESA, Alyssa's experiences ranged from working as a youth counselor and a volunteer tutor to teaching preschool-aged children. At AESA, Alyssa is devoted to creating a supportive classroom environment where students can build confidence in their literacy skills and develop a sense of empathy towards one another. A two-time AESA Elementary Teacher of the Year, Alyssa is thrilled to be following her former students this year as Head of Middle School. 

Outside of teaching, she enjoys hiking, paddleboarding, and exploring new recipes, while also contributing her time to volunteering at Boggy Creek Farm.
