Valecia Helenthal

1st Grade Teacher

Meet Mrs. Helenthal, a new face at Saint Mary School, but no stranger to the world of Catholic education. With a love for cycling and gardening, she spends her downtime enjoying the outdoors with her husband. Mrs. Helenthal’s experience spans years of teaching in various Catholic schools, and now she’s bringing that wealth of knowledge to our first graders. Drawn by the strong sense of community and shared faith, she’s excited to dive into the tight-knit culture at Saint Mary. Outside of school, she’s eagerly awaiting the arrival of her first grandchild—a role she’s looking forward to just as much as teaching her students!
