Mrs. Baker has been  teaching at St. Pius X since 2011.

Some interesting things about Mrs. Baker:

My Family:  Married with children……ages 11, 9, and 1.  My children go to St. Cecilia in Independence.

My Education:  I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Northern Kentucky University.  I am trained in many environmental education curriculums.

My Interests:  In addition to teaching in the classroom, I also enjoy doing some non-formal educational activities with groups.  I think I am talented in leadership and drama, among other things.

My Greatest Influence:  My greatest influence of course has to be my parents first and foremost, although I would have to say my teachers collectively.  So many teachers have influenced me in many different positive ways that I could not pinpoint one.  I will say that I have a great friend who also is a huge positive influence in my life.

Favorite Catholic saint:  My patron, St. Cecilia

My Favorite Color:  I used to always answer green, but anymore I appreciate every color in the spectrum.

My Favorite Hobbies and/or Vacation:  Although I don’t get to do it very often, one of my favorite things to do is camp/hike.  I love to identify wildflowers and observe natural areas.  I co teach a drama class at Expressions Dance Theatre and coach volleyball for St. Cecilia.

My Favorite Singers:  Oh, I love music!  I love classic rock and jam bands that favor the blues or jazz.  I really like just about any kind of music, but my favorite singers are the soulful singers, such as Jack Johnson, Warren Haynes, Bonnie Raitt, and many others.

My Favorite Holiday:  My favorite holiday has to be Christmas because I have so many fond memories of Christmases past.

My Homework Philosophy:  Spend the time to do it and do it right because it will only help you in the long run.  It is there as a reinforcement of what is taught.

Why I like teaching at St. Pius X:  I am super happy to be here so I can be my whole self by teaching about our faith and the goodness of God.  You can find a good education at any school, but only one to encompass your whole self at a Catholic school.

St. Pius is a wonderful school with a great administration, staff/faculty, and campus.

Favorite Sports and/or Teams:  I really like sports and my favorites are our local teams.  UK basketball, REDS, and Bengals, although I’m not a know it all about any of them!

Favorite food:  I really like Mexican and Chinese, although a good ole American cheeseburger is good too!
