Welcome to 2nd Grade St. Michael!

“I am excited to be the Second-Grade teacher at SMS this year. I am so blessed to have this opportunity!

This year marks my 40th year of teaching.  I have taught in Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Northern California. I have taught Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade, Fourth Grade, and Seventh and Eighth Grade Language Arts.

My husband Hal and I have three grown children, Leslie 41 years old, who works for Google and lives in Edgewater, MD.  Leslie attended St. Patrick School as a child.  Jared, our son, is 37 and works in Atlanta in the Green Energy field.  Jared also attended St. Patrick as a child. Our youngest child, Haleigh, aged 29, is an attorney in Wilmington, NC.  Haleigh also attended St. Mary School in Richmond, VA, as well as St. Michael Episcopal   when she was in Elementary School.

All three children had the opportunity to attend European International Schools when our family lived in Switzerland as Hal worked as an expat for Philip Morris International.

We recently returned “home” to Mason County and have enjoyed getting reacquainted with old friends and are truly looking forward to being a part of the exciting changes in the area.

Teaching is my passion, and I can truthfully say that it has been my life’s work.  I am so happy to become a part of this wonderful community and staff.” - Mrs. Teegarden
