7th Grade

In 7th grade students are becoming more serious about their education and starting to find their passions.  Students are starting to see how their decisions affect the world around them and feel the responsibility that Catholics have in our technological age.

Roles at SVDP: Seventh and Eighth Grade Science Teacher, Seventh Grade Literature Teacher and High School Science Mentor.

I love teaching science because students can apply the concepts they learn when engineering, building and performing experiments in my classes. I want my students to dream big, become self-directed learners,
and push their academic abilities to their limits.
My goal is to start my students on the right path to the college of their dreams.

Why you love teaching what you teach or the role at SVDP you have: Math is something I enjoyed learning as a student and I do my best to make sure that comes through in my teaching.  I am teaching Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry at SVDP and each class emphasizes the application of concepts, builds problem-solving techniques, and holds students accountable for their learning.  I am excited for the year ahead at SVDP!
