Sam graduated from Lakes in 2012. She received her Elementary teaching certificate from Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, MI. Sam taught both first and second grades at St. Mary Catholic School in Royal Oak for the past four years. She is looking forward to coming back home to Lakes for the 2021/2022 school year!
Sam is inspired by other people’s stories. How they can not only tell their stories but help shape those that are listening. She has spent her career teaching at Catholic Schools because she loves that she can bring faith into every aspect of the school day, and help her students meet Jesus in a variety of ways. Sam is extremely excited to be coming home to the community that has played such an important role in her life. Sam is a multi-generational Laker and Laker Alum.
Welcome back Sam! We are excited to bring back a Laker Alum as a role model to our students.
