Originally from California, Lindsay Wackowski joined SEAS in 2023. Prior to moving to Alaska in 2013, she spent six years at Saint Perpetua Elementary in Lafayette, California, where she taught both kindergarten and first grade. Before taking some time off to be with her sons, she taught kindergarten through second grade in the Anchorage School District for five years.

Mrs. Wackowski holds both a Bachelor of Arts in Education and a master’s degree in technology integration in the elementary classroom from Saint Mary’s College.

Mrs. Wackowski’s family has a long history at SEAS. Her husband, Steve is a SEAS alumni, and her mother-in-law is a former teacher having taught at SEAS from 1994-99.  “I am so excited to be teaching in my mother-in-law’s former classroom,” said Mrs. Wackowski. “Being here really is a homecoming for my family.”

In her free time, Mrs. Wackowski enjoys spending time with her husband and their three boys where they can often be found outside skiing or hiking.
