Meet Sister Patricia Burns

Why I choose to work in education:

     Since a very young age I always wanted to teach. I had many wonderful teachers in and a Great-Aunt who was my hero! Shorter more answer because God knows it was what would make me happiest.     
 

Why I choose to work at SJPIIA-HS:

     Since St John Paul II High School opened, I wanted to teach here.  In 2015, an opportunity to teach here became available.
 

My Mission:

     First to witness to God’s presence in our lives. Second to share and teach a love for literature and writing. 

Something to know about me personally:

    I have worked in residential care for at risk kids, did foster care and have two girls who have lived with me since infancy. And I love the beach!
