WELCOME MRS. STUART IN 5B
Hi, I'm Mackenzi Stuart, and I am delighted to be a part of the OLQA family joining the 5th Grade team as a homeroom, math, and social studies teacher. I was born and raised right here in Newport Beach. I graduated from Texas Christian University in 2014, where I majored in Early Childhood Education with an emphasis in English as a Second Language. I have spent the last 8 years of my career in public schools, and I am excited to be starting my private school teaching career here at OLQA. In my free time, I love spending time with my husband and son traveling, boating, and skiing.
It's an honor to have the opportunity to educate students through faith-filled learning and rigorous academics. I'm looking forward to the school year and getting to know the students and families at OLQA!
