About Mrs. Lewis

I don’t think of teaching as my profession, but rather as my calling. As a teenager I was interested in learning of all sorts and thought of becoming a nurse or an engineer. At 16 I began working at a childcare center and absolutely loved it. From that point on I knew I would be a teacher. My Catholic faith has always played an enormous part in my life. During college I assumed that I would teach in the public school system, and I did for 2 years. Throughout those 2 years, my family and friends continued to remind me that I should investigate teaching in a Catholic School. In October 2002 I joined the staff here and I can’t imagine why I didn’t realize a Catholic school would be the place for me. I get to teach and be a part of my students’ spiritual lives. What a blessing! You can contact me at slewis@cataldo.org
