Meet the Teacher

     Hello!  My name is Marjorie Hughes.  Welcome to my second-grade classroom!  The 2023-2024 school year will be my sixth year at St. Mark Catholic School and will mark my fifteenth year of teaching.  My career began with New Hanover County Schools where I taught for nine years and had experience teaching grades 1-4.  After my time at New Hanover County Schools and prior to coming to St. Mark, I had the amazing opportunity to be a stay-at-home parent.  During those years, I home-schooled my oldest child who has special needs.  

      I graduated from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree with a concentration in Finance.  Go, Pirates!  I received my K-6 Elementary Education Teaching Certificate from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.    

      I have been married to my husband, Paul, for 24 years.  We have three children – Mia, Noah, and Reese.  We also have a dog named Patch.  

      I have been a Saint Mark Catholic Church parish member for 25 years.  In addition, I served as a Catechist in the Faith Formation Program.  

I feel so blessed and am happy to be here at SMCS, and I look forward to a wonderful school year.
