MS Math, 8.1 Homeroom (photo coming soon)
 
Hello Students and Families! I cannot wait to meet each and every one of you. 
 
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2019 with a Bachelors in Elementary Education 1st-9th with a minor in English and Math. I have taught 1st grade for two years and 5th for a year in the West Allis West Milwaukee School District.
 
This past summer I got married right in our very own St. Jerome Parish! My husband’s name is Matthew. We live in Oconomowoc and love anything to do with the outdoors and spending time with friends and family! 
 
I am so excited to be part of the St. Jerome Family. I cannot wait to help guide the children on their academic and spiritual journeys. 
 
Thank you,

MS Social Studies, 6th Homeroom

Hello to all of our SJPS families!
 
I graduated from Carroll University with my Bachelor's degree in Educational Studies, my focus was Sociology and Social Studies. - I'm excited to return to St. Jerome because of all the people I have come to know, through not only working there, but also being a student and graduate from the school.

I first started working in schools in Waukesha while studying at Carroll U. This will be my fourth year at St. Jerome! What I love most about teaching is the opportunity to see all the kids grow academically AND as human beings. 

My free time is dominated by sports, I coach basketball and football at the high school and absolutely love every second of it. Any other time I get I love to spend with my awesome group of friends or watching movies! My family is very important to me and my little brother is pretty much my best friend. 

I'm looking forward to the year and doing my part to help the development of every student I have the opportunity to work with!

MS Religion, Theology of the Body, 4K through 8th grade Virtues in Practice

Hello to all parents and students! 

My name is Mrs. Dembrun and I will be the middle school religion teacher for the upcoming school year. I received my Bachelor of Arts at Christendom College in Political Science, Economics, and Theology. I am currently a graduate student at Christendom Graduate School of Theology pursuing a Master of Theology with a double concentration in Sacred Scripture and Evangelization & Catechesis. I am so excited to be teaching once again, and I firmly believe that every child deserves a good Catholic education through which they will come to know, love, and serve God. My favorite part of teaching is helping a student come to understand all the wonderful and beautiful truths about God, and then seeing that student fall slowly in love with Jesus Christ. Between reading the Bible, studying Greek and Latin, and writing exegetical papers. I do not have much free time, however, I enjoy a good cup of coffee, a hike through the woods, and contemplating the beauty of God’s creation. I also love to travel and have already been to Ireland, New Zealand, Israel, Rome, Germany, Peru, and Canada. I am married to a wonderful and supportive husband, Jared; and we have two dogs named Beau and Autumn.
MS Science

I am excited to be back at SJPS. For those that may not know, my name is Mrs. Heather Zukewich and I previously taught at SJPS (2008-2015). In 2015 my husband and I started our family. We have two amazing young girls Alyssa (6) and Kylie (Almost 4). As a family we love to play tennis and soccer, travel and camp. Now that my girls are older, I am eager to return to the classroom!

A little about me is that in 2008, I graduated from UWGB with a Bachelor’s in Science and a minor in Education. Then while teaching at SJPS, I earned my Masters in Curriculum & Instruction from UWM. My teaching philosophy is that children learn best through doing. Therefore, I incorporate a lot of hands-on labs and activities to strengthen concepts.

Thank you for welcoming me home and I know we will have an amazing school year!
