Ms. Bernock has her degree in special education and elementary education from Northern Michigan University and has been teaching for about 40 years. A Michigan native, she has been with Saint Paul for 29 years. She has four children, a 41-year-old daughter who gave her two grandchildren, a 36-year-old daughter who gave her one granchild and has another on the way, a 31-year-old daughter and a Heavenly son who attended Saint Paul from kindergarten through eighth grade. In her free time she enjoys family time at the beach (and also not at the beach) and oil painting on canvas. Every summer her entire family gathers at Hillsboro Beach, Florida, at their family's beach house.
Ms. Bernock's favorite quote is, "Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God."
