Meet the Teacher

Meet Mrs. Teegardin

Hello! My name is Jill Teegardin and this is my fifteenth year of teaching junior high for the Diocese of Grand Rapids. It is my tenth year of teaching Science and Social Studies at Holy Trinity Catholic School. Previously, I taught at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School in Ionia. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University in outdoor and environmental recreation. Later, I obtained my teaching certification and master’s degree from Grand Valley State University. I have had many life experiences that led me to follow God’s call to teach including working as a park interpreter for the MDNR and as recreation programmer for the MDOC. I have been married to my husband, Eric, for nineteen years and we have two children (Owen and Marla). Holy Trinity has become our extended family and we are truly blessed to be a part of such a wonderful community. In my free time I enjoy camping with my family, making crafts, volunteering for 4-H and enjoying the great-outdoors.
