I am so pleased to be the principal for Mary, Queen of Heaven School. I have eighteen years of experience in education as a classroom teacher. I am very happy to be continuing my career as an administrator in this wonderful community. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Thomas More College and my Masters degree from Northern Kentucky University. Most recently, I completed my coursework for Administrative Licensure in Education through Xavier University. I am a native of Northern Kentucky, and live in Villa Hills with my husband, Joel, and our four children.

Mary, Queen of Heaven Parish has played a huge role in my life. I grew up in this parish.  I was baptized, confirmed, received my first communion and first confession here. It was in this parish that my call to priesthood began to mature. I feel truly blessed to be home again.  My path to the priesthood was a bit different than most priests – I worked as a chemist and then as an engineer before accepting the call and pursuing my true vocation.  By God’s grace, I was ordained a priest in 1994.  Never in my life as a Chemist or engineer did I pray: “Thank you God. I love my life.” As a priest, I have spontaneously prayed that almost every day of my life. Life is good. Now it’s even better being here amongst you all.

I attended St. Pius Elementary School, Notre Dame Academy, and Eastern Kentucky University, briefly, with interests in Theatre and Social Work. My husband and I have 3 children and have lived in Kentucky all our lives.  After 9 years as a clerical in law offices, I became a stay at home mom, watching babies in my home, caring for elderly in their homes, and working at Behle Street by Sheli. For many years, I longed for a school secretary position, and am beyond blessed and excited to have been given the opportunity to be the Administrative Assistant for Mary, Queen of Heaven!

I am blessed to have this opportunity to teach the littlest Knights here at Mary Queen of Heaven. While this is my first year teaching here at MQH, this has been my parish for several years. I absolutely love it here! I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in Early Childhood Education. This is my eighteenth year teaching preschool. When I am not in the classroom I love spending time with my family and friends. 

I teach Kindergarten here at Mary, Queen of Heaven School. I graduated with honors from Thomas More University with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. I grew up in Northern Kentucky and reside in Edgewood.  I am a parishioner at St. Pius X Parish. In my spare time, I’m always up for an adventure as I love to travel and visit new places.  I also love to bargain shop and spend time with my family and dog, Phoebe. I am very blessed to be a part of the MQH community.

I am so blessed and excited to teach 1st grade at Mary, Queen of Heaven. I grew up in Walton and later attended NKU, where I earned my bachelors degree in Elementary Education. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for teaching children and learning! In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors/going on walks, watching TV shows, and especially reading fiction books. I also have 1 dog and 2 cats! I look forward to an amazing school year!

This is my sixteenth year teaching at Mary, Queen of Heaven.  I have a B.A. in Elementary Education from Northern Kentucky University and a M. Ed. in Reading from Xavier University.

I am pleased to have the wonderful opportunity to teach 4^th grade at Mary, Queen of Heaven Catholic School. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Education through Franciscan University of Steubenville, and have a Master’s Degree in Literacy through Elmira College, New York. I spent some time teaching in Boston, and am also a certified Teacher of English as a Second Language. In my free time, I always love a good book. I look forward to a great year in the classroom!

I have been blessed to teach in the Diocese of Covington for 43 years and have been a member of the faculty of Mary, Queen of Heaven for the last 41 years.   I attended St. Augustine Elementary School and Holy Cross High School.  I received a BA and a MEd from Northern Kentucky University.    In my leisure time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, and sharing a good joke or two.

I attended Catholic schools in the Diocese of Covington through high school, and earned my Bachelors in Elementary Education from the University of Kentucky.  I earned my Masters in Instructional Leadership from Northern Kentucky University.  I am our school’s Student Council moderator, and I design our yearbook.  My husband, three children, and I are members of MQH parish, and I love the community here!

When I decided to answer the call to the diaconate, I went through three years of training in the Diocese of Covington; then I spent three more years studying at the Athenaeum of Ohio.  I was ordained in 2010 by Bishop Foys.  I served as a deacon at St. Pius X in Edgewood for five years before returning to MQH.  I have been a full time Deacon at MQH since 2015.  I have been a parishioner at Mary, Queen of Heaven since 1986; my wife since 1972.  Fr. Kevin allowed me to teach Theology for two years at St. Henry High School to Sophomores and Juniors which I absolutely enjoyed.  Now, I am so excited to continue teaching our sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students about the beauty of our Catholic faith and the love of God revealed in the Sacred Scriptures. My wife Karen and I currently live in Hebron, Kentucky. We sent all three of our children to MQH.  My wife and her brothers also attended MQH.

I grew up across the river in Cincinnati and attended college at Bowling Green State University.  Both of my daughters attended Mary, Queen of Heaven for elementary school and went on to graduate from St. Henry District High School. In 2001 I became instructional aide in the first grade class, and I’ve been here ever since assisting MQH in many different ways.

I am currently the Resource Teacher at MQH.  I attended Ohio University earning a degree in Special Education.  I have also attended Xavier University, NKU, and Georgetown College gaining certification renewals.  You might see me at work at Fort Mitchell Kroger where I am a Clicklist specialist.  I have four children who attended St. Pius school in Edgewood and later at Notre Dame, Cov Cath, and Beechwood.  My prior experience was at Deer Park City Schools, Kenton County, and Beechwood Independent Schools.

I have a long history of Catholic Education from 1st grade through my Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Communications from Xavier. My husband and I are happy to continue this tradition with our two children. We have been involved within the Mary, Queen of Heaven family for almost a decade now! From attending mass to helping with the numerous fundraisers here. I am excited (and a tad nervous) to be taking on the role of Cafeteria Manager. Although I have been helping in the cafeteria as long as our oldest has been at MQH, I know I have big shoes to fill. I look forward to continuing making lunch the kids’ “favorite subject”. If I’m not in Mary, Queen’s cafeteria, you can find me in my garden, in my craft room, or lounging by the pool.

I am excited to be a part of Mary, Queen of Heaven in the cafeteria.  My husband and I live in Burlington with our 2 boys and 3 dogs. I grew up in Cincinnati, but I came over the river to Thomas More for my Bachelor’s in Biology and never left! After taking some time to be home with my kids, I’m excited to be here every day this year!

I am so excited and blessed to be the Aftercare Director at the same school I grew up going to! I have 3 children who go to school here and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this school and community. I am ready and excited to give your kids a safe, fun space to be after school!
