Ms. Kovaleski is a proud alumna of PACS and had the joy of bringing her own daughter here, who graduated with high honors as part of the Class of 2024. In addition to teaching, she coaches basketball and brings a deep love for discovery, civic responsibility, and helps to reinforce lessons for the Sacrament of Holy Communion, which many of her second graders joyfully receive by the end of the year.
Step into her classroom and you'll find students dissecting, building, and fully immersed in hands-on STEM activities. Beyond academics, Ms. Kovaleski has a true heart for the social-emotional well-being of her students. Her kind and nurturing spirit helps her build deep trust, which allows her students to grow tremendously, especially in second grade, a pivotal year for developing confidence and emotional awareness.
In second grade, students don’t just grow academically, they learn what it means to be a good friend and how to love their neighbor as Christ calls us to.
With Ms. Kovaleski, the adventure never ends—it just keeps getting better.
