I am proud to say that I am one of 15 children born to Joe and Margaret Catignani. I'm the sixth child. I was raised in St. Pius X parish, went to school 1st grade - 8th grade at St. Pius X school, and attended Father Ryan High School when it was on Elliston Place. I got my Associates Degree in Mathematics at Aquinas when it was a Jr. College and my Bachelors in Education at Belmont College. I went on the get my Masters of Special Education and my EdS in Building Leadership and Administration from Middle Tennessee State University. I have been teaching for 41 years and have held various positions within the schools. I have taught 1st - 4th grade, been an acting principal, Technology Coach, Math Coach, and am presently a Montessori Coach at Stanford Montessori. I enjoy being with my family, teaching Bible Study, reading, watching movies, traveling, and playing outside with my puppy dog, Annie.
