Mission Statement

St. Mary Magdalen School, in partnership with parents, parish, and community, seeks to nurture, develop, and educate the whole child by faithfully carrying out the example of Christ through education, service, and worship.

                              
My name is Kate Hayes, and this is my 9th year here at St. Mary Magdalen, and my 12th year in education.  I am a proud alum of the University of Delaware, where I majored in Music Education and minored in Vocal Performance.  Currently, I am in the process of obtaining my Masters' degree in K-12 School Counseling at Wilmington University.  My teaching career began in the Appoquinimink School District in Middletown, DE, teaching middle-school orchestra and elementary strings and band lessons.  In 2014, I obtained my certifications in English Language Arts and Special Education, and I joined the SMM faculty in 2015 as a 5th-grade teacher.  Since then, I've taught in mainly grades 6-8, but am excited to be back in my SMM "roots" this year in the 5th grade!
