After spending several years in the business world (her original degree is in accounting), Mrs. Sterner discovered her love for educating young children. She then spent four years teaching preschool at another church school. She came home to SFDS in 2002 as a first-grade aide. Then in 2009, she was one of the founding teachers when the SFDS preschool program expanded.

Mrs. Sterner is certified by the State of Texas to teach early childhood through fourth grade. She currently serves as treasurer for the Archdiocesan Early Childhood Association. She has attained her full Catechist Certification.

Mrs. Sterner was honored to receive the prestigious Sally Landrum Excellence in
Education Award at the opening school mass in August 2021.

On a personal note, she has been married to John since 1988. They have two incredible daughters, Laura and Jennifer. Both girls graduated from St. Francis de Sales, St. Agnes Academy, and Texas A&M. Mrs. Sterner’s hobbies are spending time with friends and family and traveling.

Mrs. Sterner absolutely cherishes the opportunity to teach children and share her faith. She loves SFDS and PRESCHOOLERS!
