Elizabeth Houlette

Background:

I never imagined myself as anyone other than a wife, mother and a teacher. As a young person, to go a different route never entered my mind. I love teaching and the relationships that I have made along the way. St. Patrick School was a choice my husband and I made together as part of our vocation to the Church. I am here at St. Patrick because I want to be here.

Personal:

I have been married to my husband, Mark, for 30 years. I have three children: Will, Mary Pat and Sam. All three of my children came to Saint Patrick for Kindergarten through 8th grades. We love our pets: Snickers the beagle, Colin the goldfish and two cats, Bailey and Shiek. I enjoy taking care of my family and making a home for them. Cooking, gardening and sewing are few of my favorite pastimes as well as spending hours in a few of the rare book shops in the area.

One Thing I Want Parents to Know:

I love school. I have never called going to school a job. I feel that I always get to go to school. I hope that my students feel that when they come into our classroom. My goal is that they feel good about 3rd grade, not anxious.
