Dear Third Graders and Families,

I am very excited to start my second year at SSPP and seventh year teaching! I am looking forward to walking alongside you and your family as we grow and learn together!

I want to start by sharing a little bit about my background. I grew up in the Chester Springs area where I attended Saint Joseph School and Bishop Shanahan High School. I earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from West Chester University. I hold certifications in grades PreK-6 and 7-8 social studies. I am currently working towards my Master's in Literacy and reading specialist certification and have several years of experience teaching kindergarten, second grade, and third grade as well as tutoring all grades PreK-8. 

I live in the Chester Springs area with my husband and our Golden Retriever, Reese. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at: mccallahan@sspeterandpaulrc.org. 

With gratitude, 

Mrs. Mary Cate Degnan
