Mrs. Tracy Ladle

Fourth Grade

Hi! I’m Mrs. Ladle and I am so excited to be teaching fourth grade again this year! I have been teaching at Excelsior Academy since 2017, all in 4th grade. I absolutely love teaching and there is no other place I’d rather be than here at Excelsior! I love the curriculum, the amazing staff, and of course, our students.

I am married to my sweetheart, Trent. We have 3 children. Our two oldest children are grown, and our youngest daughter is a student at Excelsior. She has been a student at Excelsior since Kindergarten. Some of my hobbies include running, gardening, and going on Disney vacations.

I have wanted to teach since I was a little girl. I started college after high school and completed my Associate's Degree. My husband and I then began our journey to start our family. Five years later we adopted our daughter, then 2 years later, our son. 8 years later, I gave birth to our youngest. Once our little "caboose" started Kindergarten, I enrolled at Utah State University to finally fulfill my dream to teach. As a lifelong learner, that wasn't enough for me. So in 2020 (amongst COVID), I decided to jump into a Master's program. I earned a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. My son has a disability, and seeing him struggle through school, as well as helping him find success, has further cemented my desire to make a difference in the lives of my students. My mantra is that EVERY CHILD can be successful! I can’t wait to meet and get to know all my students and help them to grow as learners.
