Ms. Hulit comes from a family of teachers and coaches and has always enjoyed working with children.She likes to think of her teaching philosophy as a tripod – with the three legs being the student, parents and teacher. She feels it is important that each leg does its part to work together, so the student can have the most successful year possible. She wants all of her students to love coming to school every day, so she strives to create a happy, fun and exciting atmosphere where students can feel safe taking risks and trying new things. Ms. Hulit loves teaching students to work together as a team and feels this is a skill they will use throughout their lives in many different ways.
Ms. Hulit loves being part of a Catholic school and enjoys helping her students see God all around them in their daily lives. She also loves to introduce them to Catholic social teachings. When she’s not at school, Ms. Hulit enjoys reading, animals and photography.
“You can never fully predict what the day will bring. I am not only the teacher, but the learner too!” – Theresa Hulit
