Mrs. Jacqui Steele
6-8 Teacher
Mrs. Steele has been a part of Ave Maria Academy since 2011 and brings with her a B.S. in Secondary Education with the emphasis on Broad Area English. She says there are many reasons why she became an educator, “First, I love learning. As a teacher, I continue learning to stay current with new concepts and ideas. Secondly, I love the sight of students grasping a new concept, and growing to master that concept. Knowing I play a part in that growth is phenomenal. Finally, teaching forever invites me to stay young at heart.” She loves spending time with her husband, Chad; daughters, Brittany and Catherine; and grandsons Brenden and Edwin.
