Allison’s philosophy is that we want our children to continue to growing in their faith, and academic progress by creating a school environment that develops a lifelong desire of learning through a Christ – centered education. Allison believes that establishing relationships with the staff, children and their families is the foundation for a successful preschool experience

Ms. Sam has taught preschool-age children for almost ten years, with the last four being at Holy Spirit. She loves and enjoys interacting with children and watching them flourish. She has worked with all ages from infants to five-year-olds, creating classroom environments where children's interests are honored. After four years of working at the Academy with her experience and knowledge of the classroom along with her valued approach to parent partnerships, she was brought into the administrative role at the front desk to continue to facilitate and uphold our mission statement. Sam assists both Allison and Erica to ensure smooth daily operations. This new role as an administrative assistant has afforded her opportunities to grow professionally and extend her educational journey. Outside of school, Sam is married and enjoys spending time with her beloved dog Layla. She loves cooking, watching movies in her free time, and hanging out with friends and family. 

Ms. Erica has worked at the Academy since it opened in 2018. She has been in both an administrative and teaching role during her time and enjoys the complexities that each has to offer. Erica has worked with all age groups at the Academy and enjoys seeing the natural progression of child development and the way each classroom supports children as they learn and foster their natural curiosity and abilities. Erica has worked remotely for the school since September 2021 and has helped streamline our admissions procedures, create a digital presence, assemble resources for parents and teachers, and provide the school with content and information to assist in daily operations. She is honored to be able to fully support all families, current or prospective, during their time at the Academy and looks forward to assisting your family in the long-standing tradition of Catholic excellence.
