Welcome New Staff

Ms. Lilley Hohl – Grade 2 Teacher
Please join us in welcoming Ms. Lilley Hohl to the Saint James School faculty!

Ms. Hohl will be joining our school community as a Grade 2 teacher, taking over Mrs. Nunes’ former classroom. We are delighted to welcome her to Saint James and look forward to all she will bring to our students and school community.

Ms. Hohl holds a degree in Elementary Education from Lasell University.  She is certified in elementary education and brings a wonderful combination of classroom teaching experience and a background in supporting students’ social and emotional well-being.

Most recently, Ms. Hohl worked at The Grove School, a therapeutic boarding school, where she taught core subject curriculum and assisted with counseling and support services for enrolled students.  Her experience working closely with students in both academic and counseling settings will be a wonderful asset to our second grade teaching team.

 

Ms. Ali Kradas – Teacher Aide (Gr. 1 & 2)
Additionally, we are pleased to welcome Ms. Alexandra Kradas to the role of teacher aide for our 1st and 2nd grade classrooms.  Ms. Kradas has previously worked as a teacher’s aide at Saint Bridget Catholic School in Cheshire and holds a state certification in school social work.

 

Middle School ELA Position
As previously announced, Mrs. Wolpert made the decision over the summer to retire from her middle school teaching position after 18 years of dedicated service to our school community.

We are still seeking a qualified candidate to fill this part-time role teaching 8th Grade Literature, 7th Grade English Language Arts, and one 7th Grade Math class. To begin the school year, Mrs. Mitchell, our Assistant Principal, will be covering these classes. Having previously taught these subjects, Mrs. Mitchell is well prepared to step back into the classroom and provide a smooth transition for our students.

If you know someone who may be interested in a part-time middle school teaching position, please encourage them to reach out to Mrs. Mitchell or Mrs. Nunes as soon as possible.

We are continually grateful to Mrs. Mitchell for her flexibility and commitment to our school community as she once again steps in to support our students and staff while we search for the right candidate.
