Welcome to English. My 8th grade classes are fantastic; we will experience a successful year together! "Teamwork Makes the Dream Work"
For over 25 years, I have had the honor and privilege to teach students and most importantly share my faith. Saint Paul School has been my home for numerous years; my own three children all attended Saint Paul from kinder through 8th grade. I feel absolutely blessed that they were able to receive an outstanding education; moreover, I am notably grateful to each faculty member who was part of my "village" in raising my children. What a privilege it is to work in this amazing Catholic community! I hope every student I have taught has taken something positive from my time with them and has used their gifts for His greater glory! Saint Theresa of Calcutta states it best "I can do things you cannot; you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things."
