Staff

A Franciscan Sister of Christian Charity and our Motherhouse is in Wisconsin. I have been a principal for many years, in a variety of schools and cultures suchas Black, Hispanic, and rural America. I grew up on a dairy farm outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin, so YES, I am a die-hard Green Bay Packer Fan. I enjoy hiking, reading, watching NFL football and getting involved in parish activities. My vision of a Catholic School is one in which all are welcome to come and feel a part of this Christian Community. I believe strongly in teaching the Catholic faith and teaching our youth to be active leaders in the church. School and church are interconnected. I also believe in challenging students academically to set high goals and help them to attain them. Children are our future leaders of our community, church and country. I believe in teaching students respect; respect for themselves, their classmates, adults and their parents.

I am so happy to be a part of All Saints Catholic School. In the time I have been here as the Administrative Assistant I have grown close to many of the students and families. I am invested emotionally and spiritually in our school and I look forward to what the future holds for the staff, parents and students of All Saints.

I love to work with students especially to instill in them a love of reading. I also enjoy helping the teachers to find pertinent information to enhance their classes doing research on the internet.

I live by a strong moral compass and bring to all my experiences a philosophy of education that was spoken to me by a professor I had in college “Nothing in this world is accomplished without passion”. I am passionate about teaching and strive to continue to learn with each year’s students. I am a lifelong learner in the sense that motivates my students and in turn, they create a new perspective to look from other angles. My goal as an educator is to be the best-rounded professional, with a wide variety of experiences and professional growth that encourages me to reach even higher.

It is my belief that the objective of teaching a child is to enable the child to get along without the teacher. I enjoy helping students to grow spiritually and academically, as I watch them continue to become empowered throughout the year. Here at All Saints Catholic School I hope to learn from students, parents, and faculty, as we share our experience and thoughts with ones faith community.

My goal for the school year is to give your son and/or daughter the best Catholic Education possible, including Catechism instruction on the importance of living the life “Christ” wants us to live. I look forward to teaching your children/students for the sixth year here at All Saints Catholic School.

I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2004 with a BA in Elementary Education. I began my teaching career teaching 1st grade at Santa Cruz Catholic School in Tucson. After moving Sierra Vista, I took a job at Village Meadows Elementary School. I then took a short break from education, to be a stay home mom. During my “Stay at Home Mom” period, I did some Sub and Guest teaching regularly in all grades (Pre-K – 12). I am happy to be back teaching here at All Saints Catholic School.

The Lord put a desire for teaching in my heart when I was in grade school. I have taught a wide range of age groups over the years and am very excited to have the opportunity this year to work with 1st and 2nd grades. I enjoy watching children’s faces light up when they succeed at a difficult task. It is my belief that all children have the ability to learn when given the proper tools, and my goal each year is to give them those tools.

I’ve been employed at A.S.C.S. for thirteen years and have been working in the early childhood field for fifteen years. My area of study in college was education and I received the Tucson Diocese teacher of the year award in 2005 and was also recognized as the Cochise teacher of the year in 2007. I am very proud to have the opportunity to teach our intricate curriculum and live by the motto “You never know what is going to crystallize in a childs mind, so try and create as many positive experiences as possible”.

I provide all children an opportunity to grow emotionally, socially, spiritually, intellectually and physically. I am based on the theory that children learn through play. I love teaching and caring for children, it brings me great pleasure and amazement to see young children develop such adequate learning skills. Some of my goals are to build trust and confidence in each child. I will achieve this by providing a nurturing, loving and learning environment where faith is incorporated.

Working with children is exciting. I’ve worked for 15 years. I find it very rewarding getting them ready for school.

I will be teaching Computer Applications to grades K-8. This is my 13th year in education, having mostly taught in public schools. I look forward to the change to a Catholic school. Teaching has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and I feel very blessed with such a rewarding, yet challenging career. While in my classroom, students will learn how to apply technology to learn by acquiring skills that allow them to gather process, discuss and communicate information. This in heir will prepare them to fulfill their Christian and civic responsibilities in a global setting.

Sherry Harig has been teaching art to children, teens and adults since 1978. She is an accomplished artist in her own right and has operated her own teaching studio and graphics arts business for many years. The work of Sherry’s students have done well in competitive settings including county fairs, art shows and art festivals. Sherry is best know for her large scale public art projects in Oklahoma, Nebraska, California, Nevada and her work with special populations. Since arriving in Arizona, Sherry is teaching art at the Huachuca Art Association’s Art Gallery, Summer art camps with Cochiese College, home school groups and now with All Saints Catholic School. Other than art, Sherry and Richard are homesteading 5 acres of desert called Rescue Ranch. They take in unwanted farm animals and learning how to go back to simple living.

Educators have the responsibility to not only teach content, but character. I am a firm believer in my duty to teach the whole child, and look forward to teaching Spanish, but also character.
