Meet our team

Hello, Clarksburg Classical Academy Families, I am Principal Melissa Nelson and I am thrilled to start this new adventure at Clarksburg Classical Academy. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, Master’s Degree in Special Education, with certifications in Autism and Professional Administration. I have 19 years of experience in education. Personally, I am married to my husband Michael Nelson and together we have four daughters: Jada, Taylor, Channelle, and Myka who have attended local schools in Harrison County. My hobbies are golfing and watching football on the weekends. Professionally, I am very passionate about making a difference in my students and the teachers I lead. I look for new ways to promote growth and engage all to want to keep learning. I believe that we can accomplish all things when we do our best, try our best, and be our best person.  I am a firm believer that every student can learn when they have structure, are motivated, and encouraged to do their best.   Read More »
