Meet the Teacher

Hello!

My name is Mrs. Michelle Tripi and I teach Computer Science and Technology for grades K-8th. I have been teaching at St. Mary's since May 2006 when I was hired as a leave replacement. I taught Kindergarten until June 2015, 3rd Grade until June 2018, and have been teaching Computer Science and Technology the past four years.

I live in South Freeport with my husband Josh, two children Mikayla and Cole and our dog Riece. I love spending time with my family. I have twenty five nieces and nephews who I spend time with on the weekends. If we aren't at the hockey rink watching my son play, I am outside tending to my garden or out on the boat fishing or beaching up! I love my Summers, but I also love watching my students learn and grow throughout the school year.

I coached basketball and softball on all levels. I was a JV and Varsity Basketball coach on the high school level along with coaching Varsity Softball, ending my coaching career coaching softball at Molloy University. After having children I hung up my cleats and whistle, but I am excited to assist with our Middle School Basketball team again this school year.

I currently am enrolled at Molloy University and working on earning my Building Leader Certification.

I am looking forward to another AWESOME school year at St. Mary's Elementary School!
