St. Joe is excited to welcome Ms. Elise Earley as the newest member of the math department. She teaches sophomore Geometry and senior College Algebra and Trigonometry, Probability, and Statistics. Ms. Earley, a 2010 alum, is excited to come back to St. Joe as a teacher.
Ms. Earley had been teaching for nine years. She has taught at three schools prior to coming to St. Joe, first teaching middle schoolers at St. Cecelia for five years, then at Rosati-Kain Academy for two more years.

Ms. Earley has two brothers and two pets. She has a bearded dragon named Birdie and a dog named Leo. In her free time, she enjoys reading. Her favorite book series is Throne of Glass by Sarah Maas. She also enjoys cross-stitching and showing off her creative side.
When she was a student at St. Joe her favorite classes were Geometry with Mr. Stein, Literature of Controversy, and Film History. She was also a manager for the volleyball team. Her team won in 2008 and her name is on the state banner hanging in the St. Joe gym.
Ms. Earley is excited about what lies ahead this year. She is ready to start helping students fully understand the material.
“When students who don’t understand have a lightbulb moment, it is just the most amazing thing,” said Ms. Earley. It is this moment in students’ lives that makes her want to teach.
Ava Swan, a Sophomore, enjoys Ms. Earley’s geometry class.
“Ms. Earley helps her students understand and fully comprehend what we are learning during her class, and our classes are also fun,” said Ava Swan.
St. Joe is excited to welcome Ms. Earley to the faculty and to see more lightbulb moments.
