Why I Like Teaching at Shrine Being and educator is much more than teaching academics from a book. I believe Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best when he said, “Intelligence plus character, that is the true goal of education.” It is my desire to teach to the whole child, instill them with Catholic values, inspire them to take an active role in our Catholic community, and help them flourish intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically, and spiritually. The philosophy of the school aligns with my teaching philosophy, so I am very excited to be joining the community here at Shrine where parents and teachers work as partners to provide children with a Christ-centered education.
