· Describe SES in one word: Family

· “As an alumnus of St. Emily School, I feel blessed to have the opportunity to share my talents with the St. Emily community and support the mission of Catholic education. My teaching philosophy is to provide my students with the values and discipline needed to become valuable members of their community. I strive to use a variety of teaching strategies, often incorporating real world problems in the classroom and continually developing problem solving skills. I find the challenge of meeting new students each year and striving to meet their needs to be very rewarding. However, my greatest reward is observing my students as they embrace our Catholic faith and begin to model the Gospel message of loving and serving others. St. Emily truly is a special place for my family as all six of my children are proud St. Emily Alumni!!”

TEACHER TESTIMONIALS

What parents Say about our teacher.

Proud to be an Eagle!

Not only am I a parishioner of St. Emily but I also am an alumni. Currently both of my children attend here, and I wholeheartedly am ecstatic because they are surrounded daily by people who genuinely care. It is a rare find in this day and age to find so many people who not only want your child to succeed but foster an environment of the true definition of community in every sense of the word. The teachers and faculty are sincere and loving individuals who treat your child as if they were their own. If you choose to enroll your children here, not only will you feel the same way but even more you will know that your children are being surrounded by people who are making a positive impact on their lives daily. Proud to be an eagle!

Easy Transition to Kindergarten

We chose St. Emily’s for its full day Kindergarten program and wonderful Kindergarten teachers. The transition from attending preschool for a few hours a day to a full day is not always easy. The teachers know how to handle this transition with ease. I have always felt comfortable e-mailing my daughter’s teacher and her response is always prompt and complete. If you have even the slightest interest in St. Emily’s, I encourage you to reach out to the school for more information. Ask for the principal, Ms. Booth, I’m very impressed with what she has done!

School feels like Family

Words cannot express how happy we are with St. Emily School. I have twins in Pre K-4 and a 3rd grader. The school feels like a family, from the front office staff to the custodians and everyone in between, they will take the time and help you or just say hello. The teachers are remarkable and dedicated to their job and giving their all to the students. Academically the students are challenged and are encouraged to do their best and be their best. You see this from the Pre-K classes all the way through 8th grade. I have seen my children flourish academically, spiritually and socially. St. Emily staff does a wonderful job with providing a faith based environment. We knew we picked the right school when our 3rd grader said to us “Thank you for sending me to St. Emily.” We are very happy with our decision to enroll our kids at St. Emily School. We would recommend St. Emily to any family who is looking for school that is dedicated to its students, it families and its community.

Because of the teachers’ willingness to help, all of the students have an equal opportunity to succeed in high school and for the years ahead. Saint Emily builds a strong foundation for your child.
