Meet the Team
“A teacher is a compass that activates the magnets of curiosity,
knowledge and wisdom in the pupils.”
~ Ever Garrison
Our staff is comprised of dedicated, faith-filled individuals who strive to create a safe and loving environment daily. Many of our staff hold degrees in education and/or advanced degrees.
All faculty and staff remain current in CPR and VIRTUS (the archdiocesan required safe environment training). In addition, our teachers complete a minimum of 10 hours of continuing education/professional development annually to stay current with best practices in early education.
We are blessed to have had many of our staff with us for 10 or more years.
