Ms. Cecilia Cardenas is excited to serve in her new role as a 1st-grade teacher as she begins her sixth year at St. Francis de Sales Catholic School. Ms. Cardenas was thrilled to return to St. Francis as an after-school counselor and sub over the last 5 years. As an alumnus of St. Francis, Ms. Cardenas has found a love for the school and is ecstatic to begin her education career as a teacher at her alma mater. Ms. Cardenas has been a catechist since 2014 at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. It is there that she first found her love of teaching and decided to pursue the career path. Ms. Cardenas is a recent graduate of the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX with a bachelor’s degree in General Education EC-6th. Go Celts!

When she is not volunteering as a Catechist, Ms. Cardenas enjoys spending her spare time with her cat (Duchess), three dogs (Coco, Luna, and Jet), family, and friends. Ms. Cardenas enjoys going out to eat in new and familiar places, singing, drawing, watching anime, and Disney+.
