Mr. Jake LaCross

Hi, my name is Jake LaCross, and I am so excited about starting my 7th year of teaching at Symons Elementary. To be successful in my room a student only needs a great attitude! 

I am a Michigan native! I grew up and graduated in nearby Manchester.  I earned my degree from Eastern Michigan University in 2012 and My Master's Degree from Arkansas State University in 2023.  This will be my 13th year in education!  I began my career teaching for 5 years servicing inner-city schools in Phoenix, Arizona, and Denver, Colorado.  I love building strong and trusting relationships with all of my students and I look forward to this continued work with the Milan community.  In my spare time, I enjoy playing sports, watching sports, golfing, spending with my son Landon and my wife Maria (she's also a teacher!), and hanging out with my golden retriever, Griffin. 

This year will present many new challenges. I promise to work my hardest to meet the needs of you and your family.
