Being a teacher at St. Mary's has validated and reinforced all of the reasons that I became an educator. Not only do I get to share my love of science with my students, but our classroom discussions frequently delve into how science influences and is relevant to their everyday lives. Additionally, the faculty and staff are all united around our common goal of helping each student develop to their fullest potential by weaving together academics and life skills.
