Mary Grzelak is in her 8th year at St. Joseph Academy teaching middle school social studies and religion. She has a degree in history from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. Mrs. Grzelak obtained her teaching certification through a post-baccalaureate program at Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She also taught for two years at St. Robert School in Milwaukee before relocating to Florida.

A native of Wisconsin, Mrs. Grzelak loves cold weather, lots of snow, and the Packers. Her husband, Dave, and she have three daughters and a wonderful son-in-law. She has lived in many different states, as well as Europe, and loves to travel whenever possible.

As someone who has entered the teaching field a little later than average, she's a believer in beginning a career at any stage of life.

She is excited about the direction that St. Joseph School is taking and very optimistic about the future.
