I am delighted to join the St. Joe's staff this year. I have a lifelong love of reading and writing, and I am eager to share these passions with my students. I love working with middle school students because of the enthusiasm and energy they bring to the classroom. I am the daughter of two teachers, so I come by my love of teaching genetically. In my spare time I enjoy listening to music, performing with a community chorus, reading, crocheting, watercolor painting, and gaming. I am so excited for this year. The staff has been so welcoming, and the sense of community is truly amazing.

Mr. Jenkins is our band insructor. He teaches at St. Joseph Regional Jr. High four days each week. He encourages students to try new instruments and explore talent they may not know they have. He grows the band as a team, as their music is always made better together.
It is our hope that students will take responsibility for emailing teachers with questions after they have asked a friend, consulted their agenda books and used resources teachers have given them to do each assignment. Students should email teachers if they know they have been or will be out for an extended period if they would like to make an appointment to stay after school for additional help.
What Our Teachers Are Saying...
"I love teaching at a Catholic school because the students have a love for learning and are amazing students."
​
"The best part about my job is having great connections with the students over their two years and seeing their growth as individuals."
​
"The smaller class sizes at St. Joe's allow me to focus on each student more, so if they struggle I can help them understand the subject matter and develop their scientific lab skills."
