Sandra McLean, known to students and families as Miss McLean, serves as a teacher aide at Saint Mary School and has seven years of experience in education.

Miss McLean studied Early Childhood Education at the University of Cincinnati. She finds it especially rewarding to know that the work she does each day can make a positive difference in a student’s life.

Miss McLean values working in Catholic education because faith is an important part of the educational experience. She appreciates having God included in the curriculum and the opportunity to support students as they grow not only academically, but also in their faith and character.

Outside of school, Miss McLean enjoys quilting, art, baking, canning, and gardening. As someone new to Columbus, she also loves exploring the area, discovering new places, and getting to know the community. Her hobbies keep her creative, curious, and connected to the simple joys in life.

This year, Miss McLean is especially looking forward to getting to know her students and continuing to grow both personally and professionally as part of the Saint Mary community.
