Principal Welcome

Dear Families,

Welcome to St Matthew School! The St. Matthew staff and I work hard to instill the teachings of Jesus in a meaningful learning environment for your children and in upholding the values of PRISM – Pride, Respect, Inclusion, Safety and Manners every day. 

We provide all students, staff, visitors and families the ability to feel safe at school physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually so that we can learn as much as possible from each other. The first part of our mission statement reads, “St. Matthew School, in partnership with home and parish.” By working together, WE can make St. Matthew School the best it can be.

I have been a dedicated member of the St. Matthew community for over 30 years. I began my journey in the Extended School Service program and then an aide in the kindergarten classroom. It was through my love of the students and of the community that I decided to become a teacher and was the kindergarten teacher for 22 years. 

As the principal, I will find opportunities to positively lead the community forward by reflecting on the past history, where we are today, and how we can improve so that tomorrow will be filled with hope for the future of St. Matthew School. I am excited, grateful, honored and blessed to serve you as your principal.
