FACULTY

The faculty at Magnificat do more than simply instruct the students. As professionals in their fields of study, they have the experience, depth of knowledge and enthusiasm to lead and inspire. Each teacher is committed to keeping the learning environment challenging and productive so that each girl can grow and build greater confidence in herself and her abilities. The faculty are involved in activities with students outside the classroom, whether coaching athletics, moderating clubs or participating with students in community outreach and service. Faculty, staff, parents and students work together to create the kind of caring environment that fosters spiritual growth and intellectual development. We strive as a community to challenge our students to mature in faith and in pursuit of knowledge and understanding.
