My name is Liz Stroika and I have carried the position of kindergarten teacher for over 20 years at St. Augustine School, my Alma Mater. I graduated from Boston College with a double major in Elementary Education and Philosophy. I acquired a Masters Degree in School Counseling from Salem State. My family is deeply rooted within the Saint Augustine's community with over 42 years of involvement and dedication. I chose to be a Catholic school teacher so as to have the privilege of educating children in their entirety: intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. I consider Saint Augustine School not only a place of challenging academia, but also a community that situates the teachings of Christ at the forefront of everything.
