Meet Gwen Schmitt — 2nd Grade Teacher
Serving St. John School since 2023
Why I love St. John School?
My favorite part of teaching is starting each day with my Classroom Family, eager and energized to learn!
My favorite part of teaching?
I love building relationships with each and every student of mine. Seeing them smile and laugh shows me that learning is fun, which is exactly how it should be! I also love to see growth academically and socially throughout the year.
What I like to do outside of school?
In my free time, I like to spend time with my husband and adult daughters Emily, Maria and Jenna. I love to stay active by running and playing Pickleball. One of my daughters recently got married and my husband and I have another daughter getting married in November. It has been a busy year!
My education
I graduated from Marquette University with a degree in Education, taught for eight years until my husband and I had our third daughter when I decided to stay home.
My professional training
When my youngest daughter went to kindergarten, I became the Education Coordinator at the Building For Kids Children’s Museum in Appleton. In 2016, I decided to go back to teaching in school and worked in the Oshkosh Public School System until accepting this position at St. John’s.
