Mrs. Schulein-2 Years at Montini Catholic School

I fell in love with Montini during an Open House tour with my son years ago. Now, both my children attend Montini as students and I have joined the Montini family as a staff member. This is my second year teaching  the Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) class at the Montini Primary Center. I also double as the Primary Center’s librarian. 

Prior to teaching at Montini, I earned my Bachelors of Science from Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, IL  with an endorsement in language arts and social studies. I continued my education at University of St. Francis in Joliet, IL where I earned my Masters degree in curriculum and instruction with an endorsement in English as a Second Language. Additionally, I taught first through fourth grade publicly for several years. 

I love biology and nature. I am a self proclaimed “fish nerd” and spend much of my free time caring for my koi pond and several fish tanks. Through the help of a grant, last year’s third graders were able to research and build an aquarium for the Primary Center during their STEM class. I spend the rest of my free time enjoying the outdoors, camping with my family, and reading as many books as I can. 

It brings me such joy to share my love of science, reading, and Jesus with the students at Montini. I look forward to another great year of learning together!
