Mary Kay Higgins

I obtained a B.S. degree in Education from the University of Missouri-St.Louis. I have a Lifetime Missouri Teaching Certificate in the areas of Special Education (K-9) and Elementary Education (K-8). I also have lifetime Religion certification through the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Currently, I am in my 16th year as the 3rd grade teacher at Our
Lady of Providence School. My first eight years at OLP were as Kindergarten teacher. Prior to that, I had taught 2nd grade at Epiphany of Our Lord School.

Obviously, I love teaching at OLP! The family atmosphere is amazing and I appreciate the respectful attitude that the children exhibit as a result of their Christian upbringing. I enjoy the ability to share my faith and prayer with the students on a daily basis. I am grateful every day for the chance to work with children...I can't imagine a more rewarding job!
