Hello Saint Dorothy Families! My name is Kate Gross and I am so very excited to be teaching at Saint Dorothy School for my fourth year.
I have been a member of St. Dorothy parish for over 20 years. My family has enjoyed being a part of the Saint Dorothy Community as students, alter servers, volunteers, coaches, athletes, and other roles. Adding teacher to this list has been very special for me.
I attended LaSalle University for undergraduate and St. Joseph's University for graduate school. I am certified in Elementary and Special Education and also as a Reading Specialist. Before having children, I taught in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. When my children were younger I worked part-time as a Pre-School teacher and also as a Math and Reading Interventionist at local schools. Now that they are grown and all in college, I enjoy teaching kindergarten at St. Dorothy School.
I'm excited to meet all of you and working with you to make this a fabulous year.
My name is Janet McGowan. I am excited for the new school year and also to meet the students and their families. This will be my 23rd year here at St. Dorothy's School as a Teacher's Aide for Kindergarten. I have also worked the CARES program for the last 20 years. I've been blessed to know so many wonderful families here at St. Dot's!
I look forward to the 2024/2025 school year!
