Emily Hayes

2nd Grade Teacher

Meet Emily Hayes, better known as “Mrs. Hayes,” a familiar face in our 2nd-grade classrooms. With nearly a decade of experience, eight of those at Saint Mary, Mrs. Hayes is dedicated to nurturing young minds while encouraging them to reach their full potential. When she’s not busy guiding her students, she’s likely outdoors with her kids or curled up with a good book. For her, teaching at a Catholic school is about more than academics; it’s about cultivating faith and values that last a lifetime. This year, she’s particularly excited to reconnect with returning students and see how they blossom as 2nd graders.
