Elizabeth Renaud

Mrs. Elizabeth Renaud was motivated to become a teacher during one deciding Easter early in her life. Her adopted sister was incredibly excited to dye Easter eggs, but didn’t know how. “I taught her how to dye Easter eggs and it was a great feeling to be able to teach someone something they didn’t know.”

She received her education in New York, at Iroquois Central High School in Elma. She then was accepted into Canisius College in Buffalo, New York.

Renaud came to AHS from Fremont School, where she taught eighth grade. She mentions lightheartedly, “When I first got here, one of my biggest challenges was getting used to ninth graders.” In her last year here, she has taught English to freshmen.
After retirement, she and her husband are planning to move to New Hampshire where they have purchased a country general store to manage.

As a snippet of advice to the graduating seniors, Renaud says, “Do not take the path of least resistance; don’t stop or give up just to take the easy route.”
