Hi! Welcome to 2A! My name is Miss Meaghan McGoldrick and this is my second year teaching, and second year at Saint Jude! I could not be more excited to be joining this welcoming, faith-based, family-centered, and educational community as I take these first steps into my professional career. I truly feel blessed to be apart of the Saint Jude community, and I cannot wait to meet and form relationships with everyone here!

I graduated from the Pennsylvania State University in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary and Early Childhood Education while also minoring in Special Education and Early Development Education. My four years at Penn State were pivotal and have prepared me for these first steps in my professional career. I am also a graduate of Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School Class of 2020 and Queen of Angels Regional Catholic School Class of 2016. I am beyond fortunate to have had the privilege of growing up with a Catholic education, and I could not be more excited to share my love of our faith and years of Catholic school experience with my students!

Who is Miss McGoldrick? In my free time, you will find me rooting on all our Philly sports teams, particularly the Eagles and Phillies, as well as Penn State Athletics! I love everything about sports and grew up playing softball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and swimming. I also am the Head Coach of a summer swim team which I love and has been so fun over the last four summers. My favorite color is purple and I love Starbucks and Chick-fil-A! Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Luke Combs, and Zach Bryan are my favorite music artists. I love going down the shore with my family, spending time with my friends, and playing softball and pickleball!

When it comes to teaching, my philosophy is "If you can't reach them, you can't teach them!" It is my goal to connect with all of your students and your families this year, always being a constant reminder to your students that they belong in our classroom and that they matter!
