TEACHER FEATURE
Jessica Heintz - Third Grade
Jessica has been living in Dallas for almost three years now. She loves traveling and spending quality time with friends and family. This is her first year teaching at St. Bernard, but already she feels so blessed to be teaching here. Before St. Bernard, Jessica was teaching 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. She has a degree from Oklahoma State University and added certifications in English as a Second Language and Special Education.
"St Bernard’s community is unlike any other. I have already seen the outpouring of parent volunteers and students' eagerness to learn. I’m very enthusiastic about working here with the new administration and working in a Christ-led environment."
