Welcome to 4th Grade at Guardian Angel Academy!

About Mrs. Walsh
I earned my degree in Elementary Education from Thiel College in 2009 and have been dedicated to teaching ever since! I began my career in public education, but quickly realized that my true calling was within Catholic schools. As a proud product of Catholic education myself—having attended St. Margaret of Scotland School and Bishop Canevin High School—I am passionate about fostering faith-based learning environments.
