NEW STAFF
As part of our campus unification and new administrative structure, we are able to reorganize some of teacher placements and staff positions and we are confident that this new structure will meet and exceed the needs of Loyola and its students and families.
We have been conducting interviews over the past few weeks and we are excited to announce some new additions to our teaching staff:
Danielle Christian will be joining us as the 7/8 grade Science teacher. Ms. Christian
has a degree in Biology and will receive her Masters of Arts in Instruction at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota in June. Having a strong background in scientific work will enable her to provide authentic, meaningful, and hands-on initiatives for Loyola students.
Sarah Honerman has been hired for high school English. Ms. Honerman
graduated from Northern State University in 2013 and studied English with a minor in theatre. Her student teaching experience was in a Catholic high school and she is excited to be back in a faith-filled environment. Ms. Honerman is an experienced drama coach and will be leading our theatre programs.
Jena Schoenrock has been hired as our high school math teacher. Ms. Schoenrock
r
ecently
completed her coursework for a Master's Degree in grades 5-12 Mathematics Education.
She has been teaching at Waseca Junior & Senior High School for the past six years. Her experience teaching pre-algebra to advanced placement statistics will ensure that she is a wonderful addition to the Loyola teaching staff.
Kristin Stoffel will be the lead teacher for our PreK program. Her past teaching experience and her experience as the PreK assistant teacher this past year will ensure a smooth transition into her new role.
Angie Casteel will assume the responsibilities of Enrollment Coordinator. For enrollment information or help, please email her: [email protected] or 507-388-0615.
As we continue to solidify our plans for next year, we will be communicating teacher/staff placements as well as classroom locations. We are also in the process of interviewing for another math position, and we will continue to communicate with you as that position is filled. Stay tuned!
