Meet the Teacher

About Me

Hello parents & families! My name is Lauren Holmes and I am the prek-4 teacher at St. Mary's. I look forward to working with you and your child this school year and creating our “school family.”

Here is a little bit about myself: in 2010 I graduated from Illinois State University with a bachelor’s degree in human development & family relationships, emphasizing on early childhood education (ages birth through 5 years). I spent 5 years working for the tri-county head start program with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers before coming to St. Mary’s in 2016.

I live in Sterling with my husband, Zac, our two children, Rowen & Reid, and our dog, Oakland.

I look forward to meeting you and making our year at St. Mary's a great one! -Mrs. Holmes
