Raylene Houck
Academic Director
Hello! I am the Academic Director at ELS Pocatello; I began my ELS career in 2005 as an instructor and was promoted to AD in January 2007. Working here far exceeds my expectations of a positive language learning environment. It's a joy to help our students learn their new language and move on to accomplish their goals. ESL is an exciting field, and this is the best place to experience that excitement first hand!
Mendee Henkey
Registrar
I enjoy working as Registrar at ELS Pocatello. The experience interacting with our worldwide students is unbelievable. My family enjoys the ELS students; especially my two children who love visiting with the students. The students are very friendly and are very hard workers. It's enjoyable to encourage their participation in the many activities the center provides. Working for GE Capital Financial, which took me traveling around America working on international technology buying team, and Harley Davidson, which brought the world to me through motorcycle enthusiasts traveling in America, prepared me for the ELS journey.. Thanks for sharing your lives with us in Pocatello.
